Student Sound Projects

Filed Under Student Projects, Spring 2008 Courses

The following student projects are part of the “Sound and Writing” course (English 2000) at The University of Missouri. For this project, students recorded an audio version of their essays on cultural sounds.

Andrew L., “The Sounds of (the) Country.” Andrew’s essay is about the kinds of sounds that were important to the teens who grew up in his small rural town.

James C., “On Musical Persona.” James’ essay theorizes the ways that we create and share our musical personae with each other.

Jessica P., “Work Sounds.” Jessica discusses the gendered sounds of working in the service industry–especially the sound of women’s voices as they “wait” on others.
