8// Linking the animation to specific sounds in the recording and rendering them so that they respond accordingly. We had to identify the exact sounds that we wanted to put into the animation otherwise the spheres would not react as well (there was a lot of background noise before we cleared it up)

7// Our final visuals for our presentation made by Anton. We included annotations using after effects to make the recording clearer to the listener on what it was they were hearing.

6// Analysing our transect - pinpointing noises we would use in our animation

5// Carrying on with site analysis and looking further into the recordings that we took and why certain sounds were there (events happening in the area, musicians, dancers, policemen).

4// Using a software programme, Blender, we tried to link animations to a recording of a transect through Piccadilly Gardens

3// Started to analyse the site in terms of sound and identify sources of sound. Making a simple site model helped break down the different areas of Piccadilly Gardens and why some parts were more noisy than others - something that wasn't entirely clear when just walking on the ground.

2// Site analysis - looking at specific sounds and their locations and how they respond in their surroundings. I looked at how these sounds were dispersed and manipulated by surfaces. By using my recording of the periphery of Piccadilly Gardens I analysed sound levels around the site.

1// On the second day we collected the sound recording quipment and headed to various sites to start on our site analysis. My group picked Picadilly Gardens as our first site and took a recording focussing on specific sounds: birds taking flight, bicycle tires, shoes on the pavement, children laughing, trams and buses stopping. This information we will collate to then start on our project.
