Haley Uyrus - Abstract Sound

Listening to Haley's abstract rhythm file there is a pretty good sense of rhythm being demonstrated through the use of the metallic tapping, the potato chip crunch sounds and the ticking of a clock. There are some sounds at the end of the file that are a little more abstract and harder to determine what they are but they sound like they work rhythmically. My only criticism is that the sounds at the beginning are a little repetitive and I kind of want to hear a little more of the variety that there is at the end of the piece earlier. Also the ambient machine sound in the background along with some of the more random sounds sound a little more like pitch. Overall I still think it's a good piece.

Hayley's abstract pitch file works really well there's clearly a a range of different pitches and tones and the variety of timber is also very effective. The piece may use ordered language but I think the ways in which the language is manipulated works as it becomes very abstract. The end of the piece seems a little too different from the beginning of the piece and it could use something to relate it back to the beginning. The idea of adding an extra "you can't do the switch" at the end, which was mentioned in class, might be a good idea.
