Pressure Project 2: The Tell Tale Heart

Pressure Project 2

So for this project my personal goal was to pull a physical response from my audience. I chose Edgar Allan Poe’s Tell Tale Heart because it is one of my most favorite stories from my childhood.  It also is a story that is easily told with just audio. My first choice was to try and tell The Tale of the Beetle and the Bard story of the three brothers, but the concept was frustrating so I chose to switch stories.

I first scoured the internet for a creepy underscore that could set the tone of the minute piece. Eventually I found on I liked and I exported it.

After finding this I used FreeSound.org to find the correct sound effects to create the experience. Through the use of Audacity software I created one file that told the story.

This the end product.
