1) 2/20/13, 6:08pm, Studio

 

2) Indistinguishable movement from the conference room next door and the hall. Something that sounds like a cat meowing outside. Cars pulling away for the night

 

3) Phil’s footsteps and shuffling of papers, Phil clipping a carbineer, the air blowing out of the vent, Noah rustling canary paper and the scratch of his pencil, the clock ticking extremely quietly

 

4) My typing and breathing. My jacket rubbing against the edge of the desk as I type.

 

5) The sound level is low, but there is a fair amount of sound activity.

 

6) Focused

 

6) Pencil Scratching, rustling of papers, clock ticking

Location:  Outside Alliance Hall — February 18, 2013, 2:05 pm

 

Sounds heard: A fire alarm has just started going off inside the dormitory, and I am standing outside in the crowd of displaced students, some of whom can be heard at the beginning of the sound bite making light-hearted conversation about classes.  At times, the blaring of the alarm can be heard only faintly, but the doors to the building sporadically open to admit firefighters and public safety officers, at which point the alarm becomes much louder.  The final sound is that of the wind blowing against the building, as the plateau outside Alliance Hall functions as a fairly strong wind tunnel.  At the end of the sound bite, one student can be heard asking if another is “ok,” to which his comrade responds, “Yeah, I’m just cold.”
