Journal Entry #6
Posted on by

1  March 8th at 11:30am at the Megillah reading ( a reading done on the Jewish holiday of Purim)

2  The sounds that are furthest from me is someone walking by the door to the room we are in and people are laughing outside as well.

3. The sound that is at a medium distance to me is one of the Rabbi’s whispering to a faculty member in the back of the room.

4.  The sounds that are closest to me are the young gentlemen reading the Megillah in Hebrew and the people listening are using noise makers to block out the word “Haman” whenever it is read.  One of the Rabbi’s is also screaming “boo” whenever the word “Haman” is used.

5. It is loud in the room with a cheerful vibe.

6. Cheerful

7. It is a holiday celebration and the most important sounds needed for the environment are the man reading the Megillah, the noise makers, and one of the Rabbi’s screaming “boo”.

 

Field Recording #5

When I was sitting in my room this morning, I found this song on Youtube. My friend introduced me to this cover band, Boyce Avenue, a few months ago and I really like their music.  It is Katy Perry’s song “Teenage Dream” and I just came across this song today. Boyce Avenue sings it at a slower pace and uses a different voice range when hitting his notes.
