Well, I found students getting tired, confident to do well in the KM annual day and opera scenes very much interesting. They were working hard and they wanted to impress the audience, guests, and achieve success. Then I thought, I could record some of their talk during/after their rehearsal. So, I found different sets of people with different emotions. Some of the students really wanted to finish off the events, some wanted to gain the fame and meanwhile some students were enjoying the rehearsals. I got to capture most of the students’ reaction about the KM annual function event rehearsals and I also captured the sounds of labourers’ conversation during a house construction which’s just opposite to the college. Everything I found were two different types of labourers and their dedication to work. The labourers’ during the house construction were having fun conversation and enjoying the work where I captured a bit of their conversation and a scratch sound which came out when labourers were trying to mix the cement and concrete. The labourers in the college campus have different reaction to the work where I could capture their rehearsals and the talk about the rehearsals.
In November 2015 we made recordings based on the question chosen by the students, "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai". These results are posted on top.
Previously we asked the question in May 2015: "What is the difference in the sound between the inside and the outside of the conservatory". The question in December 2015 then became "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai" In so doing, we investigated the relations that give meaning to the sounds and music around us as students and teachers and engaged with the city of Chennai.
