Field Recording #3

This is a clip of sound from a student art exhibit in Caulkins. I started the recording in the hall way so you can hear my footsteps and the sounds from the exhibit faintly and then louder as I get closer. The exhibit had several speakers hidden behind paintings to lead you around the gallery, so if you listen closer you can hear the space in different ways depending on where I was in relation to the speakers.
