We plan to make a three minute audio track that explores the sense of a city specifically a northern Yorkshire town, morning to night to morning. The track will be planned around a man’s day in the city and all the events he attend and encounters. The track will aim to show the hustle and bustle of city life and punctuate it with things that distinguish it as a Yorkshire town. It will try to get across a collection of events that characterise a modern man’s average day, albeit in an overloading way. The track will take the structure of:
Morning: waking up, taking a phone call, getting dressed and dashing out
Town: dashing through the town, past cars, down alleys, being shouted out
Work: Typing, taking phone calls, avoiding the boss
Pub: drinking, laughing playing the fruit machine
Home: getting ready to go out with friends
Taxi: screeching off, laughs
Club: music pumping, ‘suggestive’ dialogue, in the toilet
Taxi and Kebab house, witness a fight, more suggestive talk
Sex scene: quick and leading into;
Morning 2: reapeat of first scene
Sounds typical of the track will be; horns, people shouting (in south Yorkshire accents), footsteps, car noises, phones ringing and dustbins and bottles rattling.
The track may be accompanied by a backing track, most likely percussion, however will try to create a beat and rhythm using the recorded sounds, using a simple 4/4 beat. Sound will take the structure of a crescendo using the sex scene as a climax.
Influences include D.A. Pennebaker’s ‘Daybreak Express’, music artist Mr Scruff, writer Jack Kerouac and Jacques Demy’s Lola, The Arctic Monkeys, and recordist Paul Williams.
