I strongly believe that Anthony captured the feeling of rage very well within this soundscape. This is captured by the use of different sounds like the heartbeat at the beginning and the heavy guitar towards the end. Anthony did a good job of manipulating the perception of depth in the soundscape by giving the audience the feeling that the heartbeat was getting closer. This was achieved by gradually increasing the volume of the heartbeat. Anthony also manipulated time in this soundscape by creating the image of someone walking into a bar or a club with the footsteps leading up to the door, the door opening, him walking in, and the door closing. This scene of events is in the right order to make the listener believe that there are actual things happening within the soundscape.

This soundscape was very effective in capturing the emotion of gratitude through the multiple scenes that i pictured while listening to this soundscape. Stephen captured a sense of time by making the listener feel like they were at a baseball game about half way through the soundscape. This portrays time by adding a sample of a pitcher throwing a ball, and then the batter hitting the ball which is a simple chain of events that accomplishes the goal of establishing time. Stephen also uses things to give the listener a sense of space such as the kids jumping into the water at the beginning of the soundscape. He accomplishes this by panning the splashing noises from left to right. These techniques added together helped to create one of the better soundscapes that i heard.

This is a very interesting soundscape with the use of the arabic sounding vocals in the beginning. This easily conveyed the idea of worrying as it reminded me of scenes in movies that conveyed this same idea. This soundscape creates a sense of space by using the really deep windy sound in the intro to the soundscape. This immediately gave me the visual of worrying because it is sort of conveying someone's heart dropping and realizing that something is wrong. This soundscape also did a good job of conveying a sense of time by using different instruments at certain times to further give the feeling of worrying. By making some things fade out and come back in, like the singing in the beginning slowly fading out and coming back at the end, this soundscape illustrates a sense of time very well.
