My soundscape composition is focused on the history of the Canadian Navy, and its effect on our country's natural and social environment. I have taken a special interest in the BC Navy's effect on the West Coast. My goal in this composition is to create a send of natural peacefulness and harmony, which transitions into chaos and destruction.

The soundscape was inspired by the fur trade exhibit, and more specifically, the mural of the mountain range behind it. Mountains seem to convery a sense of stoic, timelessness that continue on after everything else had come and gone.

Imagine you find yourself standing in a field of wheat...

The free people are in a market close to the harbour, buying and selling when a ship arrives with more free people. Everyone rejoices because of this new people.

My soundscape includes two different exhibits from the RBCM's Old Town exhibition: the blacksmith as well as the country home are combined with various different sound clips obtained from Freesound.org website to create my project. Last breath is a story formed out of my interest in implementing visual stories through auditory means.

I present you a soundscape with all the noise I made when I listen to music. So you have an idea what my parents used to hear. This sound clip is original, it was all recorded and edited by myself.

When approaching this soundscape, I focused on sounds both inside and outside the shop. The car, tools being used, music being played in the background, the mechanic walking about his shop, and the city going on with his daily routine. As points the sound is pleasant in nature while at other points it is almost too loud and hard to listen to.

Fishing for some is a way to escape from the outside world. I am hoping that the peaceful and recognizable sounds will bring people back to that happy place.
