Editing for Sound Project

My partner Kayla and I were trying to find a poetic sound pattern for our title Simotaneously Towards the Sound of this Old Woman's Voice. We first picked up the recording of Thomasina singing hush little baby to give what we felt old women were like for our experiences. It than began to become difficult as we couldn't fully agree on what sounds reminded us of an old woman and how it could fit into the edit to make it sound like it fits much like a puzzle. We both agreed on the leaves and stepping sounds like the sound itself is going towards an old woman's voice. We than decided to make it a repetitive motif for the hush little baby lullaby to play and the foot steps to come in as the sounds kept going. We decided on water dropping to give a very natural sound to the piece. We also had to figure out if frying an egg would work, as I believed that fit, while Kayla wasn't so sure about the length of the frying and how long it should last. I also wanted the snoring to represent sleep and old people's sleeping habits, while she felt that it was too distracting for the piece, but we ended up agreeing that it would work at the end. A major problem was length, as we couldn't make it long enough and finding sounds to fit into the piece without it becoming too distracting. It seemed like it took forever to reach two minutes for the sound. But we finished and it was amazing to see how sound can create a picture.
