#GoRadio 28: A Day In The Life
Today’s prompt comes from Martina Castro:
Record your every move for a day. Well, at least try. Get the sounds of your routine - getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, getting dressed, making coffee, leaving your apartment,... who do you say hello to? What do you ride to work? Try to catch the most important moments that are part of your every day. Then see if you can edit them down into a 2 minute collage of sound. For extra bonus points, edit them down into 1 minute. Is there a rhythm to your routine? Is there a recurring theme? Is there a story that you can tell, but just through those sounds?
