'''Loop exercise'''
<br>
Make a sound piece of 30 seconds based on loops. What does it mean to repeat something many times? Does the rhythm of the loop vary while looping? Why did you choose to loop this specific sound? Use one or multiple short sound files, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.

'''Cutting exercise'''
<br>
Make a sound piece of 10 seconds based on cuts. Where do you make a cut? Why did you choose to cut exactly there? How can the cut become a writing tool? Use one sound file, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.

'''Stretching exercise'''
Make a sound piece of 30 seconds based on stretching. What do you want to stretch exactly? How far can you stretch your material? Use one sound file, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online. Involve at least 3 different ways of stretching in your piece.
<br>
<br>
'''Reversing exercise'''
Make a sound piece of 10 seconds based on reversing. What is the difference between reversing, inverting and (re)turning? Does going in reverse mean going back in time? Use as many sound files as you want, which you either record yourself, generate with audio software like Audacity, or find online.

Editing sound

The different steps for sound editing
1. Define the archive of sound 

 a. Import recorded sounds I have made the past months, to create an archive. Try to categorise them with different 
 logics
 b. Try to edit already existing archive of sounds . example freseound.org library



2. Editing methodologies
