Brita Pitcher Character Sketch

Oh, the Brita pitcher. So useful for filtering the dorm water of its filth, but for a lazy college student, oh so cumbersome. For this sound character sketch, I wanted to illustrate the frustrating conflict between a thirsty college student (namely, myself) and her utter lack of motivation, even to get out of her own chair and fill a pitcher with clean water. In order to create this conflict, I manipulated my own voice and the sound of empty cups and filter wrappers as I fight the need to get water. I work toward a climax by building both the variety and volume of sound until one loud refrigerator door slam signals that "enough is enough." The sound piece then transitions into its second half, featuring various water filter noises and the eventual fade out to myself, satisfying gulping a clean glass of water. How refreshing!
