The Brown Noise

We listened to a recording named the brown noise. It's purpose is to access the subconscious. At first I found it hard not to laugh but as it continued I started to relax and my face went numb and I felt like I was about to faint. It's an atavistic sound, a coersion technique. It could play during the nightmare, whenever the man dressed in black appears to enhance particular moments. When we woke up we couldn't remember what had happened during.

We invited some year 12's to come in and listen to the brown noise with the song "Someone else's dream" by Laurie Anderson (the song used within the play). They all said they felt numb, sacred and paranoid. This is what we want from the audience and this how we all felt. We got the same reaction from a different group of people. Their heart beat sped up, they felt fear and anxious.

Listening to the brown noise has given me a bigger insight into what 13 is trying to do to the audience.
