The project uses distortion, repetition, and atmospheric sound design to simulate the feeling of being trapped between sleep and consciousness. By focusing on tension, discomfort, and disorientation, the piece reflects an interest in psychological soundscapes and in audio&#8217;s ability to evoke emotional and sensory experiences without visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/scl\/fi\/se24yo8jdx3gb9njeh2ah\/Scoring-Project.mp3?rlkey=pcxanlsr1khoqlciugcdc99ta&amp;st=povsnjyh&amp;raw=1\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Display Time<\/strong> 1:30-1:44<br><strong>TITLE<\/strong>: Rogue One Scoring Project<br><strong>MEDIA<\/strong>: Film Scoring \/ Sound Design<br><strong>SOFTWARE<\/strong>: Ableton<br><strong>HARDWARE<\/strong>: iMac OS X<br><strong>SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong>: Digital Audio synced to picture<br><strong>DURATION<\/strong>: 1:44<br><strong>CLASS<\/strong>: FMX 328 Sound in Media<br><strong>PROFESSOR<\/strong>: Gregg Perkins<br><strong>SEMESTER \/ TERM:<\/strong> Fall 2024<br><strong>INSTITUTION<\/strong>: University of Tampa<br><strong>DESCRIPTION<\/strong>:<br>This project involves rescoring a scene featuring Darth Vader from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, focusing on how music shapes tone, tension, and narrative impact.

Recorded at the Starbucks in Grand Center, the piece captures ambient noise within a single, uninterrupted space. By focusing on everyday sounds such as conversation, movement, and background noise, the project emphasizes how silence is never truly empty and how listening can transform ordinary environments into meaningful sonic experiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Display Time 4:47-5:27TITLE: Kingdom Hearts Scoring ProjectMEDIA: Film Scoring \/ Multimedia CompositionSOFTWARE: AbletonHARDWARE: iMac OS XSPECIFICATIONS: Digital Audio synced to&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/fmx-328\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">FMX 328 Sound in Media<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":256,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-97","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/256"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":733,"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/97\/revisions\/733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pf.fmxut.com\/ifantis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
