I started this project with the idea of making a track that makes the listener feel like they are running from something, whatever that may be. Though, I got part-way through that and decided I didn't want my track to run anymore. I wanted it to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and very real. I tried not to distort any of my sounds too much in order for it to be easier to relate to and get immersed in. My biggest struggle was mimicking the sounds of traveling without being able to go anywhere, but I think I managed fairly well in the end. For my own sounds, I recorded myself walking, shuffling, etc. on my phone with whatever props I could find in my dorm room. Otherwise, the rest of the sounds came from various people on freesound.

Class thoughts:
murder vibes
a lot of movement and progression in the beginning
there was a lot of dynamics that kept you engrossed
it felt like you were being chased, like you were trying to get away but they kept getting closer. Then there's a false hope of being away, but you're trapped.
There's a storyline that you don't know what's happening next
It was mysterious and overstimulating
there's an effective crescendo
You can read it as being chased or something violent, but you can read it differently because of the sounds' friction since they don't necessarily go together, but that leaves interpretation for the listener
