Sonic Postcard
Imagine the sounds of an ideal holiday location and bring it to life using the Compose with Sounds software.
Imagine a Holiday Soundscape
Pick one of the postcards above and imagine the holiday destination, with all the sounds that you would hear.
- Perhaps it is busy and full of people, or quiet and full of nature sounds?
- What time of year is it?
- What are the key sounds that you would hear?
- Are there any sounds which might be drifting in from the distance?
- What is going on?
If you’re having trouble imagining what the sounds might be like, why not go back and pick one of the other postcards?
