Field Recording #1
This was taken while I was walking back to a house on February 28th. There was a ton of snow on the ground and it had become more solid than soft, creating a nice crunching sound. In addition, you can barely hear a few cars driving by on the street nearby. This was recorded right next to the law school in the parking lot.

Sound journal
- it is 11:02 I am laying in bed
- 2. the sounds furthest from me are the cars on the turnpike. my window is open so I can also hear the wind and sometimes a plane overhead
- At medium range I can hear my neighbors in their backyard, they are talking and laughing
- The sounds closest to me are the podcast that I’m listening to quietly on my phone and the sound of my stomach (I think I’m still hungry)
- There is a lot of sound activity but it is all pretty quiet overall
- Calm
- The podcast, the laughter from next-door, and the wind are essential
