Sound Journal #1 (Ezra)
- 2015-01-29, 3:28 pm, RSR booth in Netherlands South
- farthest: Group of girls sitting on the couches and talking. “Are we gonna study or party? Study!” The sliding door between me and them cuts their conversation between crystal clear and incoherently muffled. Other groups talking as they leave and enter the Netherlands Core. Very faintly, the sliding of the door to outside. Cars honking.
- medium: Sliding front door, IDs swiping through the reader & the following beep, turnstile unlocking and turning, sliding back door. Sliding back door, swinging push door behind me, swinging push door to my left, sliding front door. Residents talking throughout, their conversations circling around me.
- close: High-pitched wine of the security footage on a tube TV (the volume depends on which way I turn my head). Hum of heating system. Different, subtle hum of electronics—not a whine, definitely a hum. Typing as I write this. My breathing is silent.
- sound level: varying. Almost shockingly loud as residents come through. Almost silent and very lulling when there’s no one around.
- one word: erratic.
- three sounds: sliding doors, ID swipe & following beep, and audible/discernible conversation.
