Sounds heard: women struggling and counting. People coughing and laughing. The sounds of the wind and cars from outside. Chatter every once in a while and scattered laughter is heard. As the counting goes on, it gets louder and more intense.

Sounds farthest from me: cars driving by

Sounds medium range to me: The chattering and comments

Sounds closest to me: The coughing and counting

Description word: organized yet relaxed

Essential sounds: the counting, the laughing, coughing, and comments made. This allows the audience to know that even though there is organized counting, it is still in a relaxed environment.

Sounds: What We Do In the Shadows on the TV, me chuckling at the show, my roommates talking

Location: Pride Den, 5:04 pm

Sounds heard: Light chatter, typing on computers, movement in chairs, people walking, sniffling (from me), hum of air conditioning

This was taken while I was walking back to a house on February 28th. There was a ton of snow on the ground and it had become more solid than soft, creating a nice crunching sound. In addition, you can barely hear a few cars driving by on the street nearby. This was recorded right next to the law school in the parking lot.

Date/Place: May 14 in the Pride Den

Sounds heard: people talking, an alarm beeping, people typing on computers, doors opening and closing, someone drinking a smoothie

This was recorded at 7:16 in the Spiegel  theater during the Alphie awards – you can hear people presenting on stage as well as the crowd laughing at their jokes!

This was recored at 9:37 in my kitchen, you can hear the sound of my housemates playing music and talking in the other room, the stove being turned on and me moving around the kitchen, opening cabinets, setting things on the counter, and making pasta.
