Critical Feedback

Had another session with my mentor outlining my current research and development, during this I; 

• Explained the possibility of submitting my research brief to the Royal Zoological Society in order to get recording access; http://www.rzss.org.uk/research/your-research The main set-back for this would be the delay and loss of time, in which I could be a month or indeed a couple before I got through all the hoops for getting a research pass. The recordings that as a result of this could also be potentially lack luster, when compared with professional authentic recordings.   

The motivation behinds sourcing my own recordings, would of been to obtain sounds that were unmodified by production techniques to get a "real" representation of the natural sound.

The aim for the project still stands as a reasonable research outline. However the lack of a definitive methodology was a strong area of concern (for which the core of the project would need to be developed and modified according to). 
My lecturer gave me with a great resource in Curtis Roads Computer Music Tutorial which provides a really comprehensive guide for the likes of sound synthesis and it derivatives such as Subtractive synthesis, Wavetable synthesis, Formant synthesis, etc. 
An understanding with these synthesis principals will inform my projects conduct and from which I can select a method(s) to conduct it with. I.e; Subtractive Synthesis.
