Journal Entry #7
1. March 15th at 11:20 in studio south of WRHU (I was doing my music slot at Hofstra’s radio station.
2. The sounds farthest from me are people talking and laughing outside the studio.
3. The sound at medium range to me is the studio door shutting and someone is writing on the dry erase board outside the studio door. The marker was very squeaky.
4. The sounds closest to me are my tracker asking me a question and the song playing in the background which was “The Space Between” by the Dave Matthews Band. You can also hear clicking on the computer in the background as I am moving the next song into the selector program on the computer.
5. It is pretty calm in the studio and quite relaxing. We are playing what I consider to be good music and my tracker and I are having a good time.
6. mellow
7. The sounds that are essential to the environment are obviously the music playing in the background since it is a radio station, my tracker asking me a question about what is going on, and the clicking on the computer.

You can hear the voice and echo of a woman talking on the screens where the gas pumps are throughout the recording. Cars whoosh by in front of me and the sounds get louder as they come closer. At the end you hear the car door being opened and there are a few beeping noises signaling that the door is open.
