W hat interested you about this sound?

This Ferris wheel sounds a lot like the hydraulic press. I like this sound because it brings back memories of my childhood. Back when I was in Thailand, I could hear the sound of the Ferris wheels before even entering the amusement park, my siblings and I were very afraid to go on the rides so we often found ourselves watching it turn, ‘round and ‘round!

What movement happens in place?

Ferris wheel is rotational whereas people riding on the Ferris wheel undergoes circular motion

W hat interested you about this sound?

I was able to capture the clickety-clack sound, it is the sound of train wheels bumping from one of the tracks. I like the pure sound of a steam engine at work. Anything machinery is my favorite. In the video, I was able to record the pure acoustic bliss of stem locomotion and I hope you enjoy listening to the sound too!

What movement happens in place?

The train speeds are very slow and smooth. Walking pace would be the ideal speed that is best described in terms of movements.

W hat interested you about this sound?

I like the slow whooshing sounds of the waves hitting the soft sandy shore because it gives me peace and comfort in my mind. It constantly creates a very relaxing effect and I always feel resonance with the surroundings whenever I am at the beach.

What movement happens in place?

Waves move in a circular motion. It is never still, sometimes I would see waves moving on the horizon, they would bend and sway up and down like white bunnies hopping back and forwards.

Explain your creative work to encapsulate the sort of experience you had.
My creative work is very similar to ‘Soundscape’ but I incorporated some videos from Tiktok into the piece. I also used a Spotify template display to make the video seem like an actual playlist. I had a lot of fun and challenges throughout the making process, but I was very happy with the result. I connect with Session 4, Week 2 Music video titled ‘Inanay’ by Artist Tiddashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xGWMFBfKi8. Throughout the process, I was able to reflect and relate to this song the most because the word ‘Tiddas’ means “women who like sisters” which links to my video because my little sister was with me in all three short clip sound/movement videos from the Padlet. This creative work will influence my future ECE practice by allowing me to understand the true concept of sounds and movements. By creating this video, I was able to understand the musical possibilities that I can use to further enhance my future practice.

Linking back to my creative piece, I have combined the recording sounds of the ocean, Ferris wheels, and Easter beach train with a song titled ‘Pee Pee La Kaki” music by Frank Lamare. I like the rhythm and so I added three videos to match my original recordings as part of a combination between movement and drama. I connect with session 6 Roy, D, Baker, W & Hamilton, 2015, ‘What are the Arts and what do they “do”?’Simply because after reading his article, I was able to communicate a ‘sense of natural beauty and calm’, I was able to capture the movements and sounds by adhering to deep listening teachings. I was able to understand that ‘the art' is not some form of inferior linguistic communication and that it can be in many different forms. I would be able to use this technique to improve my future practice because I now understand that art can not be neatly tied in a box, therefore there are endless possibilities to implement movements with sound in so many different ways.

My sensation at the Eastern Beach, In the air, I can taste a little bit of sea salt, I can hear the waves crashing into the sands and I can sense the winds rushing through my hair.
I connect with session 5, The Parallaxis Game - Excerpt from the Parallaxis Website https://www.the-parallaxis.com/, image by Marcus Wallis. The game was one of the main resources that inspired me to smell, see, hear, taste, and even sense my surroundings before recording each sound. I was able to follow the same steps so that I would be captivated in every moment. I can use this game as part of my resource to further enhance my future practice in ECE by implementing these activities to improve the children’s awareness, sight, sound, smell, and sensation.

This experience makes me feel very relaxed and I also feel more at peace with myself. I was able to lift all of the heavy kinds of stuff off my shoulders for a moment and it was such a delight!  The overall experience made me feel alive again. I was able to reconnect with my childhood memories of the Ferris wheels. The sounds of waves crashing through the sands and the train tracks were also very memorable.
