Sounds: Clothing rubbing together, distant and closer cars moving, engines sputtering, footsteps, light key jingling.

Warm ups before Woyzeck. Blackbox, on stage.

Location: in my friend’s car

Sounds heard: Funny/Habits by Makin’ Treble playing on car speakers (muffled), two distinct voices singing, someone laughing, someone talking

This was recorded at the ceramic studio – you can hear the hum of the kiln room fan in the background, a bucket being slid across the floor, my hand hitting the doorknob, my footsteps towards our clay reclaim machine, the sounds of the plastic cover being taken off, the sound of the machine being turned on, and then finally my footsteps back to my phone.

Sounds heard: eggs sizzling, spatula scraping pan, microwave beeping, microwave buzz, salt shaker opening, pouring salt, and closing lid
