My project is about technology and how much its impact has changed the world we live in today. I used JFK’s “To The Moon” speech from when he announced the United States would be headed to the moon.

Not only did I include sounds from technology we are familiar with today (iPhones, airplanes, cars) but I also included an airplane safety demo from 1987 and an instruction video of what long distance operators used to have to do before the advanced technology we have today.

I wanted to make it feel like The Twilight Zone by adding in alien sound effects and futuristic noises. I did a lot of layering with my sounds to make this eerie feeling possible. I ended the piece with a real space shuttle take off to relate it back to JFK’s speech and tie it all together.
