Task #13

Using SoundSnap, I downloaded a snippet of ocean water hitting rocks on the Mexican coast. It's a little over a minute, and very soothing. Makes me want to go back to Mexico and sit on the beach.

There are a couple of great ways that Youth Services could use SoundSnap. I bet Shanna will show it to the teens creating their book trailers. I also thought about using it for sounds needed in the puppet show recordings and even during story times. The library as a whole could use it for sound effects on the website, different sounds for different icons. There are a number of cool possibilities.

I also looked at ccMixter and found an artist named _ghost. I was attracted by their name. I've never seen a musician use an underscore in their name. The _ghost song I listened to is called "Ice and Chilli." (It sounds like a poem title to me.) Anyway, the song is an awesome mixture of sound effects and instrumentals. There is a beautiful piano solo at one point and the ending's cool.
