This is a Self-Portrait of me, made of looping found sound. I took moments throughout my day to listen to the sounds around me. I listened to the silence and heard sounds that I don't hear or notice. In my sound loop I recorded the sound of water from a swimming pool. I love to swim but I never really took a minute to just listen to the water. The second sound I recorded was the air-conditioning in my house. The air-conditioning is such a background noise that it just blends in and I don't listen to it. Yet when I did listen to it, it was loud and annoying. The next sound I recorded was me walking barefoot on the floor of my house which is Laminate wood flooring. I never noticed before, that it made quite a loud noise, which I thought was interesting. Another sound that I decided to record was the sound of an airplane and a car. I recorded this sound because living in Reno I hear it every single day and like the rest of the sounds I don't really notice the loudness of it. Every single day I go onto YouTube and watch videos, but Monday - Friday I watch a YouTube channel called Good Mythical Morning. I decided to record the opening of the show because it is something that the show says every morning and it is just so iconic for them to say. I feel like it is a part of who I am. Another sound that is definitely who I am is the sound of pills moving in the container or falling on the floor. I have to take these pills everyday and hear the noise that it makes and really listening to it made me realize that it is not silent and it makes a lot of noise. All of the sounds that I recorded really represent my Self-Portrait.
