How it works (60-second soundscape)
  1. Choose your magical realism scene.
  2. Tap a sound in the library, then tap a box in your sound score to place it. Layer up to 4 sounds at once.
  3. Set each sound to Soft / Med / Loud, and make it stay the Same, get Louder or get Softer.
  4. Start in the normal world. Let the magic creep in. Use silence for drama.
  5. Record your own sounds with the mic: voice, body percussion, objects.
  6. Pick your sound symbol and explain what it stands for. Download your soundscape, and paste your sound score into your task sheet.
