Soundscapes!

I spent most of this week- beginning of december i have to admit- Looking into soundscapes and finding out more about them myself. I needed to get more inspiration for my own soundscape. My initial ideas of forests and people really didnt seem to raise any eyebrows, so i delved into the unknown world of audio..
Soundscapes.
"The idea of soundscape refers to both the natural acoustic environment, consisting of natural sounds, including animals, vocalizations and, for instance, the sounds of weather and other natural elements; and environmental sounds created by humans, through musical composition, and other ordinary human activities including conversation, work, and sounds of mechanical origin resulting from use of industrial technology."

Iwanted my soundscape to take people through a journey, something that would create an image in the mind all the way through. So i looked at particular examples i found from other people and put together something simple tat ive bee doing all along. I decided to go with a morning routine. Beginning with getting up, with the sounds of the shower. The prgressing through to drying my hair and getting on the morning bus (es).
