ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sound collage

Okay, kiddo, let me explain sound collage to you. Imagine you have a bunch of different sounds, like birds chirping, cars honking, people talking, and even music. Now, let's say you take all those sounds and put them together in a new way to create something totally different. That is what we call a sound collage.

It's like making a picture out of different pieces of paper or cutouts, but with sounds instead. You can use different tools to create this collage, like a computer program or even tape recorders. It's a creative way to make new sounds and music without needing to play an instrument or sing.

People use sound collage for lots of things. Sometimes, artists and musicians use it in their work to create unique and interesting sounds. Other times, it can be used in movies or TV shows to add extra layers of sound to the story.

So, in summary, a sound collage is when you take lots of different sounds and put them together to create something new and creative. Think of it like making a beautiful puzzle, but with sounds instead of pictures.
