TDR-sound art project

For my sound piece I chose TDR as my location. I wanted to highlight the mechanical nature of the "TDR process" as I'm calling it. The notion of having to stand in line at the different buffet stands reminded me of an assembly line so I used an electric sewing machine to simulate the sound I imagined an assembly line might make. Also I wanted to highlight the chaos of TDR. At a busy time when it is packed TDR is pretty jumbled and noisy. There's lots of things going on at once. I wanted to demonstrate that by encorporating these different elements such as people talking in the back ground, the clinking of silverware and plates, a fryer, back ground music, running water and even the sound of someone chewing. All these things together make up the typical auditory experience in AU's dining hall.
