Identify the location of the clip – I recorded this clip in the lobby of the Spiegel just before the beginning of pie night. There was a large group standing around waiting to be let in and someone bumped the lights and made creepy noises.
Identify the sounds heard in the clip – In this clip one can hear the large amount of activity and anticipation that comes in the minutes before a Cabaret night begins in the Spiegel. It begins with a smattering of conversations and yelling across the room and then one can hear the moment in which the lights go out and one student begins to make a rather odd, non humanlike noise that cuts through the room and causes a few people to scream. As people begin to figure out what is going they begin to laugh. Encouraged by laughter, the boy continues to make extreme noises and show everyone this “astonishing” talent he possesses.
