Unnamed Sound Project

In completing this project the goal was to capture two distinct sounds, one indoors and one outdoors. Both had to be well recorded, but difficult to identify for the listener. Have a listen to both and try to guess what each recording captures.

Outdoor Recording ~ 40sec

The outdoor recording was made on south 13th street near a Macco Body shop. I began on the 30 bus southbound until I reached Wisconsin Avenue, there I would change buses to the 19 heading south along 13th street until I arrived at my destination. I ride the 30 often, but until working on this project I had never rode the 19 bus. Click Here for a map of the route. I took some time to look for areas of the city that were industrial-ish and near bus lines, this area felt like a good choice. I decided to stay away from parts of the city I am familiar with for this portion of the project and I think the resulting sound is pretty cool.

Indoor Recording ~ 49sec

This recording was made indoors, and I believe it is a very strong recording in both its quality and ability to puzzle the listener. I would share where I captured it but that alone could give it away. I will just say it was somewhere along Downer Avenue, click here for a map of the area. and I did get the permission of the owners to make my recording there before I began. In no way did I manipulate this sound, I basically walked in, recorded for 10 minutes at three different levels, and exported a selection that I felt was the most interesting. Good luck figuring this one out!
