I recorded this in the Library Grind at about 3:45. This was done with the zoom h6 stereo mics. I did move slightly at around the two minute mark. I felt I would have a better vantage point after the move and I agree with my choice.

This was at a computer in the Library later in the day. I think the typing clashes nicely with the talking and it becomes quite rhythmic.

This recording was made with the zoom h6 stereo mics set at 90 degrees. At around the middle mark the wind really picks up and peaks out the recording. I tried to block some of the wind with my body, but I ended up putting the mics behind a concrete ledge.

Volleyball

This is a mobile recording from the volleyball court back to my apartment. I used the H6 and it's onboard condensers. It was mentioned in class that the soundscape was motivated rather than being observational. So it's not documenting a space as much as the experience of walking through it.  

Volley to House

This is inside the apartment which is a continuation of the series documenting the mobile recording. I used the H6 condenser mics. Unfortunately the track peaks a little during the clanging of the pots and pans.  

Inside Space

This was recorded inside during the rain at about 7pm. I used the shotgun mic pointed out the window and the onboard mics pointed about 90 degrees to the left. 

RAIN WINDOW

This was recorded in the same setup as the last with the window open. The recording was made with a shotgun mic and the onboard mics. It was recored at 4pm on a cloudy day. 

CLOUDY WINDOW

Again it was the same mic setup (shotgun and onboard) and same location(pointed towards the window and away), but I recorded at around noon and the window was closed so you hear the patter of the rain. 

WINDOW CLOSED

This soundscape is a journey through the elements. However, I am missing a few key pieces because of the bad weather as of late. I still need to record the fire portion of the story. The fire portion will fit between right after the lighter spark and before the rain (water) portion. As I said, I would have recorded a fire already but the rain and snow have been quite problematic. This is still quite the rough version of the final project, but by the time the next critique rolls around it'll be a more complete version.

This is my Final Sound project it depicts a story between to men and their journey to find materials and a suitable location to build a fire. 

I found my original idea to be quite tricky so I did end up changing a little to come up with this one. Finding sounds of wind was most challenging because it was difficult to catch the subtle sounds and not blow out the microphone.
