Field Recording #3

This is a clip of sound from a student art exhibit in Caulkins. I started the recording in the hall way so you can hear my footsteps and the sounds from the exhibit faintly and then louder as I get closer. The exhibit had several speakers hidden behind paintings to lead you around the gallery, so if you listen closer you can hear the space in different ways depending on where I was in relation to the speakers.

Hofstra Gym, second floor

Far sounds – hum of machines surrounding me, weights hitting floor downstairs, muffled conversations as people run by, feet hitting the track surrounding me

medium sounds – rhythmic hum of treadmills as people run, tv above me, music on radio in gym speakers, conversation behind me, pull of the paper towel machine

Close sounds – music pulsing in my headphones, water bottle clanking against the machine, the hit of my feet on the treadmill 

Sound level – full of random clashing background noise, but overall medially mellow. Not too rambunctious. 

one word – focused

Most important sounds —  rhythmic hum of treadmills as people run, pull of the paper towel machine,  weights hitting floor
