Field Recording 3
Main Unispan
I originally took this clip to try to capture the way the footsteps echoed across the unispan in adjunct to the passing conversation. I was standing still near the middle of the unispan when a blind student bumped into me. I think this is what makes the clip especially interesting because my interaction created an unplanned accent to the field recording.
