Description
So there I am in High School (oh so many years ago) and the teacher showed us this clip of a man driving a truck down a dirt road towards a house and, in the house, a woman is peeking out the window, sees the truck, and rushes to get the house cleaned up. There was no speaking involved.

The fun part was, there were two different sound tracks. One very suspenseful and the other light lovey dovey type. Totally changed the meaning of the clip.

Now to this piece. A sound experiment.

I was playing with some of the sound effect loops that Garageband has and was just messing around when I got the idea.

Put THREE different basic music tracks underneath the sound effects.

Sound Loops:

Breath Male 02
Footsteps Hard Concrete Run
Footsteps Mud Run 02
Auto Operator 03
Impact Fall Roll Stairs
Gas Station Air Lift

Music Loops:
Remix Stakeout Bass
Cuban Timba Bass 03
Vintage Drum Machine Patter 9
Argetine Tango Bass 02

I would love to hear what you think the guy is doing in the different mixes.

This is odd
Yet interesting. The underlying music absolutely changes the mental picture generated by the sound effect. I'm not sure what that means, but it is interesting. You are a creative soul.

Very Odd
Thanks for the comments.

My original piece had nothing to do with this experiment. I was just doing some filters and up popped Breath Male.

I had no idea what direction I was going with it and I honestly don't even know what the guy is doing (what's up with that air thing at the end) but it just sounded interesting.

Then I remembered the scene mentioned above and just started playing with different sounds. What a difference a little bass can make.

Cool idea
I may steal the idea and use it as an exercise in my audio production class.

Sounds Great
That would be a great lesson.

Take this one or make something on your own.

Play the first one with no music and have the class write down their thoughts on what is happening.

Play version one and have them write something down.

Repeat a few more versions and have them see how a little thing called background music can make a difference.
