Empty Spaces Improved

How I created dripping sound effects

I wanted to try and give the Soundscape a bit more depth, in order to allow others to successfully construct visuals for the piece. Obviously this has proved to be difficult, as I do not want to overdo the amount of sounds in a piece that is meant to be pretty much "empty".
Instead I have opted for adding two adjustments, which I think create a more visual idea of what the Soundscape is trying to show. I recorded drops of water in the shower, which I feel is associated with a barren, abandoned house or room. The drops are placed randomly - as I felt it was too fake if I put each drip at a certain time.

Another idea of mine was to use an echo of some sort. I have chosen a voice of "Hello" as an echo, however I'm not sure if it enhances or ruins the mixture of sounds. There is no part of the brief that say's spoken noises/words are not allowed, but I'm yet to decide if it is worthwhile to add it in or not. I will put it to the class in the next feedback session.
