1-1/31/13, 12:30 A.M. My dorm room

2- Talking, Noises from pipes

3- Shower running, Sitar playing from an ipod

4- My own breathing, Heater

5- For the most part it was quiet. It was quiet enough to hear my breathing, but every individual sound was loud enough to hear over the others if I concentrated on them. All the sounds were very different, but it did not sound like any of them were in conflict. The sitar was the loudest and most unique sound. The combination of sounds created a calming, laid back atmosphere.

6- Relaxing

7- Sitar, Shower, Heater

1- 1/30/13-6:35-Adams Playhouse House Left, Midway back
2- Identify and list the sounds farthest away from you. – Furthest away from me I can hear the fans blowing faintly through the space and the sound of brooms across the masonite floor
3- Identify and list the sounds at a medium range from you. – Closer to me I can hear the clang of instruments and rattle of musicians running into the hallow maestro stand. Sporadically, I can hear performers and musicians in excitement passing through the pit doors.
4- Identify and list the sounds closest to you (You can include internal sounds if noticed or relevant). – Closest to me I can hear the smacking of the director’s food as she eats a burrito from the student center and the sound of tictacs being poured into the lighting designer’s hand after she returns from a smoke break. I can hear the distinct action of her clicking the container open carelessly tipping it over into her hand and then grasping two mints. I can then hear her tipping the container back upright and all of the excess tictacs falling back into the container as she places it back on the table. Even closer than this I can faintly hear the white noise coming through my right ear on my headset. It is filled with irregular small clicks and a faint static noise. 
5- Describe the general sound level and amount of sound activity. – Considering all of the sound there is in the space, nothing is too loud or overly dominant. There are many actions going on around in the theater all in preparation of the start of the dress rehearsal but everyone is calm. All sounds are coming at me from all directions but softly and calmly; in an equal balance. 
6- Assign a one word description to the “sound environment”. – Operational 
7- Select and list 3 sounds which are essential to the sound environment. Note: you need to try and figure out what sounds make up this environment and which of those sounds need to be there for the feeling of the environment to stay intact. – Clanging of instruments, Tictac container, brooms swishing
