Drift Assessment

1. One thing that really bothered me on the drift was not being able to find an area on my walk where there wasn't at least one car that went by. No matter where I recored there was at-least one car that went by. Another thing that made me nervous was recording something and not knowing if it was going to sound the same once I got back to the studio.

2. The first sound I was recording was very relaxing. I was sitting on the curb listen water running and just watching cars going by. It was an interesting situation. The sound was very peaceful and relaxing but the action I was watching was very "busy". The next situation that i found peaceful was the wind chime recording. The rhyme of the chimes was very calming and very easy to listen to.

3. The first thing that surprised me was how much construction I ran into on my random path, all of which gave me interesting sounds that were all different. Another thing that I did not expect was people to be so nice about letting me record them. In this day and age I would think most people would be very hesitant to be recored by a total stranger but all the people were very open. The last thing that surprised me was the amount of sounds there really were on just my walk. If you really aren't on a sound-walk looking for sound, you really never notice how many sounds there really are going on around you.

4. My favorite experience of drift 1 was being able to have super sensitive hearing with the microphones. Listening through the headphones made listening to the world a different experience and just made everything sound better to me. It changes the way you look at what's around you just because everything seems so closer and more clear.
