Final Paper

I used the John Cage Composition "Ten Quick Steps"It was recorded after his death. I think the idea's behind the composition are still very apparent in the recording and mixing.

Name that sound

No clues just listen to it here

I went on a few bus trips. All the trips started on the 30 heading east until i found myself in an unrecognizable place or until I got bored. I would listen for a bit and then either start to wonder on foot or take a different bus. After the first trip I realized a sort of very logical approach to the abstract assignment at hand. This idea I had went sort of like this: if there are things in nature that are unexplainable to humans, but humans can explain everything they make then why am I trying to capture the sounds of man made objects. So I ended up trying to capture nature as it happens. Well I guess that's your only hint is that the sound comes from nature.

Drift

I had some fun drifting and doing the field recordings. I started to play around with possible drift strategies. I settled on two different strategies that I used. The first one was walk straight until you meet someone at a corner, then ask them forward, back, left, or right? My second strategy was pretty plain and simple turn right at every named street and turn left at ever numbered street.

Sounds of 48th and Hampton 45 seconds. Place, median 48th & Hampton. Time, 6:15 P.M. Date, March 10th. Drift strategy two. Audio notes

Sounds below and above a foot brige 40 seconds. Place, foot bridge by 49th & Parkway drive. Time, 7:15. Date, March 10th. Drift strategy two. Audio notes

Sounds Directly underneath a bridge (for vehicular crossing) 35 seconds. Place, under bridge between parkway drive and licoln creek drive on 60th st. Time, 6:25 P.M. Date, March 11th. Drift strategy one. Audio notes
