As a group we have decided to use a soundscape throughout our performance. We are going to have sounds of London playing whilst we run into the gallery and create the Big Ben, after 15 minutes we have the noise of the Big Ben chiming. We would have finished putting the piece together by this point so the chimes will make it extremely iconic. Once the chimes are finished we are going to have some 1920s music playing to represent the time period we are trying to represent. We have found these clips on Youtube (see below for link). We have our own speakers also so the Gallery will not need to worry about any interference with their own music. The volume is going to be loud as it will hopefully startle our audience and make them realize this is a exciting and fast-paced piece and also make them more intrigued in the action which is going on. The noises will also intrigue members of the public into watching our piece.
This is the link to the Big Ben chime we are thinking about using, it is the 3 Quarter Hour one.
This is the second link which is sounds from around London mainly filmed in Oxford Circus. Although we may research and try to get some more sounds, or even over the Easter holidays visit London ourselves and record our own soundscape.
