2- Furthest: The sounds from the workers cooking, the slight hum of the building, the fan blowing
3- Medium: People chatting at the table next to me, the workers having a conversation at the cash register, a phone ringing across the room.
4- Closest: My friend telling me a story, my bracelets jangling as I type, keyboards clacking, brief clips of people’s conversations as they walk by.
5- Sound level and activity: low, it’s still early and there’s not many people inside, the calm before the storm of common hour
6- Usual
7- The chatter from people, kitchen sounds, my friend’s voice

Journal Entry #6

  1. 04/20/2024 – 3:38pm – The Playhouse.
  2. Sounds farthest away from me: dancers/crew members whispering to each other, crew members talking/responding in the distance, somebody coughing.
  3. Sounds at medium range: the choreographer giving directions/counting followed by the dancers moving around on stage.
  4. Sounds closest to me: typing on my computer, a dancer wrapping their ankle in tape next to me, the crew members near me occasionally adjusting themselves or moving items, a constant faint buzzing.
  5. The general sound level is subdued but passionate. The amount of sound activity is very particular and arranged.
  6. Description word: precise.
  7. Essential sounds: counting/directing, stage movement, hushed whispers/humming.
