Foley, soundscape and ubiquitous music in audiovisual creative processes

Abstract

Sound in audiovisual productions is an essential element for films to have a greater impact and provide a relational aesthetic with their viewers. This brief study brings some surveys carried out in different videos that use the foley technique (1), soundscape (2) and ubiquitous music (3) as a creative process proposal. 1. Foley is a technique of making sound in the studio with sound effects related to human interaction with the world; 2. soundscape in literal translation is soundscape, Murray Schafer's concept, with diverse applications; 3. ubiquitous music is the creation of musical compositions using ubiquitous technological devices, this field of study is very similar to the way in which foley techniques and capture of soundscapes are made. We seek to bring in more detail each of these concepts and techniques adopted. As examples we bring some recent productions made in the last years and two artistic creations made by XXX in 2018.
