Welcome to Emma Steyn's Portfolio!
Before you begin, I wanted to share my creative process for this project. I began by choosing a place [Swirlz the coffee house in the UCD MU]. Next, I drew the place without people. Then I chose individuals to draw who I thought were good representatives for all the people present who make up the space. Then I went back home and thought back to my time at Swirlz trying to imagine the soundscapes each individual might have been immersed in. I wrote down some notes about what specific sounds might have been present in each one. Then I tried to recreate each unique soundscape using an ambient sound mixer. I then put together this website [took a lot of trial and error] so I could share my thoughts and to try and immerse the viewer [ you :) ] into how I see the space.
Okay! When you are ready to begin, click on the home button below. This symbol will always take you back to the home screen. From the home screen, select the individual drawing you would like to explore. This should take you to another page with more information about the drawing and it's soundscape. Make sure you can hear the audio! When you are done with that page, click the home button so you can choose another drawing if you would like to.
