I like the break.  Nicely coherent for an experiment.  Using natural sounds for rhythm elements is old hat but I like the gritty quality you get.
 
Art is silly, esp. when it gets "serious."  How do you do something new when we've spent the last 100 years breaking rules?  From "Merde" and "I saw the best minds of my generation.." to Sgt. Peppers art has been about expansion of non-tradition into the canon.  But it is getting harder to do something "new," which is the crux of modern art.
 
However, craft, the hard work on technique, is still useful.  Otherwise you get a monkey w/ a grenade.  Something good might happen, if you Shakespeare's unlimited supply of both (maybe that is a concept for an art exhibit, as long as you don't open w/ a performance or mind pissing off PETA).  But it doesn't mean you have something to say, or add to the art form itself.  Stringing more than 3 chords together in one song makes a musician, not an artist, except in the most academic sense.  And just because you know the rules for an Elizabethan Sonnet doesn't make one's writing a poem, except in the most mechanical terms.  Knowledge helps, but doesn't mean pop music is art.
 
Like Barbie's math, it is hard to know how to say something and have anything worth saying.

As an academic assignment I "get it".
 
As art or music I was bored.
 
But none of us are your professor. When you have the final product I'd be very interested in hearing it and then even more interested in the grade/rank/comments(whatever) of your professor.

Hi guys, thanks for listening and commentating.

Whatever to the naysayers, but musique concrète has been going on since the 1940s. The idea of finding the music that is in the environment all around you is just as legitimate as anything else.

This is really nice. It's interesting how you did all this and very creative! And here I though it was cool I recorded my self walking through leaves. lol!
 
Very well done!

I'll bet it's a trip up there in your head.  I couldn't really grasp which sound were which sounds in some cases but was thoroughly entertained trying to figure it out.  You're weird.
