“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” -Wendy Wunder

For this soundscape I wanted to capture all of the little things I enjoy while being back at home. I don’t pay as much attention as I should to the little things and being away has led me to hold a greater appreciation for them. Whether it’s singing along to songs in the car, drinking some radioactive mtn dew, laughing with my friends, getting to relax by the fire, or petting a kitty, I have enjoyed all of the little things while being back home. For my soundscape I really wanted to create a fictional narrative of getting back home through sounds of rain (classic Bellingham sound) and my everyday routine to set the listener into a mindset of being welcomed back. I used both found sounds including the relaxing beat and my own personal sounds (laughter, etc.) to create a soundscape narrative that encapsulates coming back home and being relaxed.
