PROPOSAL

TOPIC NOISE POLLUTION IN URBAN CITY

PROJECT TITLENOISE POLLUTION IN URBAN CITY INSTALLATION (SOUNDSCAPE)

BACKGROUNDNoise pollution is unwanted or harmful sound that intrudes upon human or otherfaunal activity. Noise pollution is almost entirely human generated, whetherBy machine sources or amplified sound of human creation.

AIMTo provide audience to experience the ambient of sound so they will know hownoisy we surrounding urban areas.

PROPOSAL

RESEARCH

Will collect the sound in urban city. the sound collect from the main

source of noise pollution such as vehicle, road and building

contraction, festival and others related to noise pollution. The

Location is around the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

PROPOSAL

To get as many information about the noise pollution such as the source

where it come from, on when does it produce high level of noise which is

the main cause of noise pollution in urban city.

MOTIVATION

Nowadays there a lot of noise produce by the human itself so by developing

This installation project I could show and give some awareness to the user

living in the urban city to control the level of the noise pollution .

DESIGN APPROACH

This is a soundscape installation which user control or mix the soundscape using

the Mixer. Eight sound will mix by the user which come from the main source of

noise pollution such as car, construction and others.

RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

RESEARCH ON SOUNDSCAPE CONCEPT

The term soundscape originates from the early

1970s and the work of R.Murray Schafer and his

colleagues at the Simon Fraser University inCanada. The definition of the word

soundscape isan environment of sound with emphasis on the

wayit is perceived and understood by its

communityand the individuals present.

RESEARCH ON THE RECORDER ZOOM H4

RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

The H4 Handy Recorder is a handheld digital audio recorder from Zoom, featuring built-in condensermicrophones in an X-Y stereopattern, Recordings are stored on anSD card (128 MB supplied), or via a USB cable to a computer running digital audioworkstation software

RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS

RESEARCH ON HOW TO CONNECTTHE MIXER AND LAPTOP 1 Connect one end of the 1/8-inch

audio line to your computer "Line In" or "Audio In" jack. On many laptops, this is located directly next to the headphone or "Line Out" jack.

2 Connect the other end of the audio line (the red and white ends) to the matching jacks on the main "Audio Out" or "Line Out" channel on the mixer. If needed, use a 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch adapter on each of the RCA cable ends before connecting them to the mixer.

3 Click on the desktop icon for the audio recording software program you are using. Verify that the mixer's power is turned on and at least one channel is connected to an input device, such as an instrument or microphone. Some audio programs will automatically detect the mixer. If not, click on "Recording" or "Settings" or "Preferences" and select an option for "Record" from audio in, external device or line in.

IDEA AND DEVELOPMENT

Idea 1 Project title : Installation Noise Pollution in Urban City

for installation I'm thinking to collect  a few soundscape of noise around  the urbancity such as the vehicle (car,motorbike,Lory,aircraft,etc) ,construction ,load music formthe entertainment place, factory noise and so on.

After sound collect, Separating the sounds into separate components  using the mixer There will be 8 different ambient sounds that will allow ,Users  can   `mix' these

ambient sounds with others.

Idea 2 (The backup plan)Project title : A soundscape video about noise pollution aroundurban city

 Noise from the selected location will be record. Video will be record as well Combination of two method and produce a  soundscape with audio video ,about

noise pollution in urban city

IDEA AND DEVELOPMENT

Idea Development - Raw data

The idea is to collect as many raw data such as the video andthe sound that record from the zoom H4.The data will upload onThis blog using the soundcloud.

Strategic location

I will record the noise source from selected location which as Know as the high level of noise pollution such as Bukit Bintang Federal highway Port Klang KLIA

IDEA AND DEVELOPMENT

Softwarethis is the software that I will use to create my project.

 Adobe Soundbooth - editing/cut/merge sound Adobe Premiere Pro- editing video Adobe After Effect- editing video Adobe Photoshop- editing still photo

Hardware

The mixer will used for this project.Finding some tutorial on how to connect the mixer with laptop/pc

IDEA AND DEVELOPMENT

Software testing Adobe SoundBooth

Testing to combination a multiple sound and cutting the unwanted sound Testing on reducing the noise background so that what I record will be more clear.

Testing the Premiere Pro to speed up the duration and combine the audio as well. Cut and increase the level of sound

CONTEXTUAL STUDIES

GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXTThe project soundscape.the sound itself will be record in many Space of location with different level of sound will produce.

SOCIAL CONTEXTThe noise pollution is produce by the human activity itself. So Can concern that social context also can be a part of my Project.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

MULTIMEDIA STORYBOARD

1. the set up  for my project sound scape two set of speaker, one laptop, one mixer with cable wire , white fabric as a screen with one projector project from the back side of white fabric screen 

2. user will come in to the space .no sound and visual will appear at the begining.

3. user have to control the mixer to play with the sound scape (noise pollution) .user can mix up the  noise more than one sound.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

FLOWCHART

user have to stand in front the mixeruser can choose from 8 different soundscape of noise pollutionuser can mix it visual will appear in front of the screen projection

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

BUDGET AND PREPARATION FOR THE PROJECT

This is the current prediction of the  budget to preparation the project. This budget might  change regarding and changes of quantity or any unpredictable matter happening during the project.

CONTENT DEVELOPMENT

FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION WORKSHEET

Description: Projection (Sound – Visual) Media Elements/content:

1. Text/description: can view the instruction on the poster available to tell the user how it work and how user can mix the soundscape2. Images/graphics: no still image will appear3. Video: visual will appear on the screen of the projection together with the sound4. Animation: None5. Sound: Playing the ambient sound of noise pollution which user pick/choose/mix6. Navigation controls and icons: None

FINAL SYNOPSIS

Noise pollution is unwanted or harmful sound that intrudes upon human or otherfaunal activity. Noise pollution is almost entirely human generated, whether bymachine sources or amplified sound of human creation.

Noise pollution in urban city is an installation project to make the user realize hownoisy we are living surrounding the urban areas. This project is about soundscape,which user can control and mix the noise pollution sound using the mixer and whileuser changing the noise sounds the visual will appear from the projection screen.

There will be eight different of soundscape that come from the main source of noisepollution such as the vehicle building construction, road construction, noise from thefactory, entertainment place and noise from the neighbor.
