Field Recordings are an interesting way of capturing reality. It was exciting to think of places that are easily identifiable without using non visual forms of representation. The UTM gym is vital communal space. I thought that the Gym was an easily identifiable communal space especially because the sounds I heard were so distinct. For instance, i was constantly travelling through my recording, and unfortunately, my laptop did not capture the audio as well as it should have. However, i start originally from the change room area, where you can hear the water, and the blow dryers being used by people. I went upstairs and you can hear machines, which are actually people on the elyptical. I went further into the weights area, where you can hear the clink and clank of the weights. I went towards the bicycle area where you could hear music and and people running on the treadmill. The UTM gym is certainly a public space shared by several different people on a daily basis.
