I felt that the Soundscape needed perhaps a little more to give the impression of a giant machine being built for war. With this in mind, I used the other sounds from tools that were not used in the previous one and added a few more.
The bleeping added gives a very electronic and modern effect, while more bangs and clangs gives a great visual of the power of the imagined machine. I have also changed the gunshot to just one large bang, and made some other slight changes. The piece now has much more depth and will allow listeners to gather a better visual image from the sounds.
War Machine 2
If I were to do this again, with more time and equipment, I would be looking to create a war horse - perhaps with sounds of horse hooves, swords clanging and the smashing of shields. I did attempt to record some of these sounds, however with they seemed unrealistic and didn't seem to fit as well with the theme I first imagined when I chose it.
I also have ideas to perhaps create different sounds to show the machine as a plane or boat. It is just proving difficult to use primary recorded sounds for sounds needed to illustrate such ideas.
