Main Unispan

I originally took this clip to try to capture the way the footsteps echoed across the unispan in adjunct to the passing conversation. I was standing still near the middle of the unispan when a blind student bumped into me. I think this is what makes the clip especially interesting because my interaction created an unplanned accent to the field recording.

Location:  Outside Alliance Hall — February 18, 2013, 2:05 pm

 

Sounds heard: A fire alarm has just started going off inside the dormitory, and I am standing outside in the crowd of displaced students, some of whom can be heard at the beginning of the sound bite making light-hearted conversation about classes.  At times, the blaring of the alarm can be heard only faintly, but the doors to the building sporadically open to admit firefighters and public safety officers, at which point the alarm becomes much louder.  The final sound is that of the wind blowing against the building, as the plateau outside Alliance Hall functions as a fairly strong wind tunnel.  At the end of the sound bite, one student can be heard asking if another is “ok,” to which his comrade responds, “Yeah, I’m just cold.”
