1. What is the difference between W3 and PC ethics?
PC ethics focuses on learning from cultures that have existed for a long time in relative balance to their environment, but doesn’t list anything specific. W3 seems more specific whereas PC ethics seem a bit broad. W3 goes into a lot of detail, but PC seems more “people-focused” in a way.
2. What is one design choice that would make your audio slower, calmer, or more attentive?
Different audio clips could fade in and out slowly so it’s not jarring. Making audio clips with more abrasive sounds quieter than the other audio clips.
3. How can 1-2 minutes of sound (your project) reward careful & curious listening instead of hijacking attention?
Generally, having some kind of white noise is soothing, at least for most people. Lots of people use a white noise machine or a fan to generate sound to fall asleep to. I’ll be using water sounds. The sound of a running river or waterfall would be great, but the Stillwater River is named that way for a reason, so I got up close and recorded the sounds of the small waves. I have multiple audio clips of it, I figure I can make something akin to white noise.
