1- 04/12/2013-12:40-Hampton Inn (with my parents who are in town to see Five Women)

2- Sounds farthest away from you: Hum of the fan from the bathroom, the refrigerator, and the lights. The hums are all different pitches but create one solid hum, though made up of the different parts.
3- Sounds at medium range: The sound of the television, specifically Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show, and my father typing.
4- Sounds closest to you:  My typing on the computer, sounds higher pitched and “sprightlier” than my father’s typing. The keyboards could have an effect on this, mine being a Mac and his being a PC, but my typing is also faster and softer while his is slower and heavier, regardless of the keyboard.
5- General sound level and amount of sound activity: Sound level is low as is the amount of sound activity. This reminds me of what it would be like at my own home, where we watch TV and work on our computers in peace, without much distraction. This especially reminds me of home because I never have time to watch TV when I’m on my own.
6- One word description to the “sound environment”: Cozy.
7-  3 sounds essential to the sound environment: The sound of the television, my father’s typing and my typing. Sounds comforting and calm.

1) 10:20AM, 4/11/2013, Around the Adams Quad

2) Cars going by from the direction of the NAB, people talking by Bits & Bytes

3) More people talking, guttural sounds from the stage combat class, I think, (numerous “ugh”s and “agh”s as people are fighting), the clicks/clops of a skateboard going over the cracks between pieces of the sidewalk

4) Sounds of wheels from a skateboard and the sound of it going over cracks as he passes me by, my own sniffling, people’s footsteps and ambient conversations as they pass by

5) Generally low-medium volume with occasional spikes (often from the “ouch I just got hit” sounds from the stage combat class) and low-medium activity (I don’t think too many people are awake yet, or they’re in class)

6) Jabbing

7) The guttural sounds from the stage combat class, the skateboarder, ambient conversations

Listen to

Location: NAB Light Booth, 7:20pm, 4/11/2013

Sounds: Faint vacuum sound, clicking of mouse and keys on a keyboard, Courtney coughing and shuffling her position around in her chair. The loneliness and lack of excitement of the light booth as we wait for rehearsal to start in contrast to the excitement of the vacuuming and last minute set touch-ups going on below us
