Field Recording #3: Doug Practicing Guitar

Date/Time/Location: 2-20-2014/11:27 PM/ Doug’s room in New Hyde Park

Sounds heard: First, you can hear Doug getting up from his chair and the way it pops back up (like computer chairs do).  You can sort of make out him walking across his room, and you can definitely hear him picking up his guitar.  He plays, and my planner sliding on the carpet and a few clicks and keys on my computer can be heard.

Field Recording #3

Location of clip: The Den, my house.

Sounds heard: Mom flapping a garbage bag, me playing Skyrim and zipping up my backpack, followed by Mom typing quickly on the keyboard. Mom then gets up from her chair with the garbage bag in hand, and leaves while I continue to play the game.

Field Recording #2: “I Speak Zulu”

Location: Doug’s bedroom in his home (New Hyde Park)

Date/Time: 2/13/2014, 5:30 pm

Sounds Heard: Doug singing (a song from last year’s Black History Month concert) at his computer, the commercials showing on the TV downstairs, Doug’s sister, Natalie, singing in the bathroom.

Note: Doug and Natalie both gave permission for this posting.

Location: Student Center Front Dining Room

Sounds Heard: Assorted voices and conversations, Christina talking about how she’s “not snap chatting anymore,” the kid next to us slamming down his salt and pepper,  and then Christina’s plasticware falling out of her hands on to the table, the person next to us talking, me picking my phone off the table.
