First concepts on ideas
My first idea was to write an essay on game audio design and the process behind it while making or replacing the sound design for an open-source game at the same time. Unfortunately, the essay and sound project cannot be on the same thing but be related in some way. This was my first idea and could develop into a more detailed title. Another idea is to research the game audio of a specific person, going in-depth on each title they created for. For both these ideas, creating the sonic piece could be game orientated using visuals to create a soundtrack for example.
This idea of something surrounding game sound would benefit me greatly, but there are a lot of other topics that interest me
Another idea I had was researching glass instruments, a topic I have not looked into much but am fascinated by. I think an essay going into the history of glass instruments would be an intriguing read and interesting to research. But I feel like it could not be enough information to write about, leading onto my next idea. I thought about researching the history of the instruments and their use in media, whilst limited, glass instruments have been used in quite a few films, which could bolster this topic. For my audio piece, I could use something made of glass to create a sound in this piece and that would be enough, even though I would love to use an actual glass instrument, they’re extremely hard to come by, hard to make and expensive at that. VSTs do exist of these instruments, after some research I could use one of these.
