With this project I had my first real experience with using microphones to go out and record my surroundings. This "sound walk" project entailed that I go out and find a place that defines me and my day and record. This was an interesting proposal for me. It really got me thinking how and where I spend the majority of my day. The first place to begin my journey was my room in Tigress Hall.
I spend a lot of time in my room over the course of a day but I never had sat there just to listen. In the ten minutes I was listening, I picked up on a variety of sounds that I always had just dismissed as background noise. These sounds included the sound of my air conditioner, the sounds of my suite mates going about their day, and the sound of the electronics humming even when they were turned off.
This introductory assignment to sound walks was a very enlightening experience. It taught me how to just sit back and listen as well as to appreciate all noises that create the symphony that is my room.
