The Birds

I watched 'The Real T-Rex (with Chris Packham)', which included looking at how you could simulate a T-Rex sound with modern animals. I thought it might be an interesting project to do something similar with bird sounds.

I recorded some bird sounds early in the morning with my TASCAM recorder.

Then, in Audacity, I isolated some bird sounds and put some special effects on them, such as pitch shifting and delays.

I used a lot of bass to give an 'eerie dinosaur' effect, because birds (supposedly!) evolved from dinosaurs.

WARNING!! Track includes low bass and stereo panning so use headphones or quality speakers for optimum 'eerie dinosaur' effect!

WARNING 2!!! If you are scared by 'eerie dinosaur' effects, do NOT use headphones or quality speakers!

Gudbuy t'Jane

For a school holiday activity, we had to listen to a video an adult liked when they were young and listen to it with them. What better than Slade! My dad has the original Slayed? LP and Gudbuy t'Jane 45, so I played it on my keyboard whilst listening to it.

[EDIT] I had a 'copyright claim on my Youtube video so I have deleted it, because I don't want greedy people making money from my work, and have put the audio on Soundcloud instead.
