Sounds Of Whitney Young, Christopher Tso, 2013

During my time at Whitney Young, I have experienced a lot and have a lot of cherished memories. In this project, I recorded some of the sounds that I heard while at Whitney Young. My first sound is my AP Biology class, which is very interesting. The second sound is my division. Every day for six years, I have been in division with these people. We share a lot of memories together. My third sound is the sound of my locker. My locker has been like a friend to me. I have had one for six years. My fourth sound is the hallways.

The Sounds of Whitney Young, Symone Latham, 2012

This project was a bit hard at first because sounds aren't usually what I use to measure memories. So, I chose to edit this project a bit differently. I wanted this group of collected memories to be presented the way I remember them, like photographs or snap shots of my school.

The sounds of Whitney Young, Benjamin Bobo, 2012

ImageI started off sampling the sound at the beginning of the day. Then I went on to sample things that our part of my everyday. These included sounds from division to my different classes. Then next I included sounds that aren't heard on an everyday basis. There are some sounds that don't make Whitney more bearable, but that do make it unique. I finished with something beautiful.
