Reconnecting Sound in Purposeful Isolation
A Soundscape Project by Jordan Wegner

When I was tasked with this soundscape project I had a few different ideas, including recording some sounds at my local grocery store. However, two weeks before the assignment was due I contracted COVID-19 and since I still live with my family, I was forced to isolate in my room for five days.
At first, I was frustrated by the circumstances. This vastly limited my ability to go anywhere and record anything. I was not excited about cramming this project in during the final week.
However, I started to notice some sounds in my room. Some were man-made, some were of nature, and some I even created myself by simply working.
All these sounds clustered and taught me about how sound can reconnect us in our most isolating moments, and how the presence of sound makes the silence even more serene. I hope you enjoy.
