3/9/13 Outside the Netherlands
Cars, Wind, Rain running off buildings
Location: My friend’s Apartment in Brooklyn — Friday, March 7, 2013, 8:15 pm
Sounds Heard: D’ prepares for a date by shaving her legs with an electric razor on the floor of her room. The razor makes a persistent buzzing sound that syncs up at moments with the Fiona Apple song playing in the background (– perhaps not the best musical choice to amp up before a date…) At 24 seconds and on in particular, that sound of the razor harmonizes with the song in a very surprising, very cool way.
It’s almost midnight at HofUSA, and here you can hear a really bad pop music, two girls talking while playing pool and complaining about it, and a group of friends talking loudly. According to Cyndi (a friend I’m sitting with) the bad pop music playing has been on a loop for several hours.
…the horror.
Student Center, 7:50 pm, March 14.
People talking, automatic sliding doors opening and closing, footsteps, wind.
-Men’s Room on Bottom Floor of Student Center
-Person whistling while in a stall, the rolling of the toilet paper dispenser, toilet flushing. The sound of my soul dying a little as I record a man whistling while he’s on the toilet.
This is at Au Bon Pain on March 14, about 1:15 in the afternoon. You can hear the sounds of music in the background, the ice machine, and me trying to put the cover on my drink.
Location: Houlihan’s (the restaurant) in a booth.
Sounds heard in the clip: Eliza is singing along with the music that is playing: Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield. I am heard saying “Wait for the break” Stefanie says that we need to “get some harmonies in there” and there is general murmur of people talking in the restaurant underneath. Very fun times.
Drounge, 3/14/13, 4:45pm
Caitlin and Laura singing, then Caitlin and Laura trilling, me talking, Laura talking and laughing, Marina typing and laughing, Geena laughing, a backpack being zipped, papers rustling, breathing, murmurs.
March 14th – Psibrary – 4:40 PM
Actors. Peter Previte doing random warm ups, while Max Baudisch tells him that he’s doing it all wrong.
Identify the location of the clip – Row R, seat 7 of the JCA Playhouse
Identify the sounds heard in the clip – If you listen closely you can hear the very beginning of the 64th annual Shakespeare festival. This song I think speaks volumes to the sort of week I have had with Rych. Just after you hear the iconic song to begin the show, you can faintly hear Rych come up to me and state that tomorrow will be a glorious day as he will not have to listen to this music any longer and especially that song. I have been planning to share this song as my song recording this week as I knew Rych would appreciate hearing it one last time. Also I recall one of our very first classes when Rych mentioned that different songs can cause humans to have a severe reaction. Whenever I hear this song I really do have a severe reaction as I immediately associate these noises with the long hours of tech week and the one 55 class that Rych spent setting levels with this song and this song only.
