Field Recording three

My suite in C-square, 12A.M.

You can hear my marker rubbing against the paper of my coloring book. Although it is the marker making the sound the different motions cause sharper, duller, deeper, or higher pitched sounds. You can also tell when I changed which shape the marker was coloring including the swirls and straight lines. At one point you can hear a dull murmur of words as my suite mates talk.
