Journal Entry 2
Date: February 22 – 2:00pm
Location: My Backyard
Far Sounds: bell tolling, planes flying by overhead, incomprehensible music from a car radio down the street.
Medium Sounds: car honking, truck rumbling past, birds calling to one another, cars whooshing by, icy sleet falling.
Close Sounds: keyboard clicks, breathing in and out, sleet hitting the ground, chairs, tables nearby.
Sound Description/Level: as the sound of sleet intensifies, it brings the other sounds in and out of focus. The planes and cars increase in volume as they get closer, then gradually fade away. Every sound seems one-and-done, a little snippet of something new in the world before it disappears again into the wash of sleet falling.
One Word: transient
Most Important Sounds: sleet, cars driving past, bird calls.
