Creative Assignment: Sound

One minute before falling asleep

This sound composition documents one continuous minute of listening inside a bedroom immediately before falling asleep. I recorded while these actions were actively happening. The audio includes an ongoing sleep-time phone call with my boyfriend, steady breathing, subtle body movement on the mattress, fabric rubbing against skin and bedding, and the heater running in the background. These sounds come from actions involved in closing the day and preparing the body for rest.

I kept the piece as one continuous minute and adjusted the sound to control distance and focus. Background elements were processed to feel less direct, while closer sounds stayed clearer. Editing centered on balancing layers rather than isolating events. All sounds remain in progress, and the sequence stays unchanged.
