In this project I will try to convey the message that Time Flies by compressing a person's life into 30 seconds of sound. It will contain some of the representative sounds during different phases of human being, i.e., infant, adolescent, adult, and elder. Some examples of sounds that I may use are the cry of a new born baby, the oath at a wedding ceremony, and the sound of an old man walking with the help of a stick.
The theme of time and life is eternal. But more often than not, people tend not to be able to appreciate the preciousness of time. By compressing one's life into 30 seconds of sound, it should be easy for the audience to get the message and actually think about it seriously.
As for now, I haven't collected my sounds yet, so I don't know in which environment should it be listened to. But most probably headphones.

Will, sounds like a good idea! I especially like that you are thinking about the theme along with the sounds, to flesh out the idea. I think you could have a lot of sounds to make it seem like a full life, even if it is short (like cheering at sports, graduating, toasting your daughter's wedding, etc.)
