Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Recorded inside my room which is on the 12 floor of a high rise. You can hear the snowflakes hitting the window, which was louder than I expected.

Location: A House on Longwood Dr, Syracuse, NY — March 29, 2013, 2:30 pm

Sounds Heard: This field recording is fairly straightforward — my friend is playing the piano in the living room of his house while I get ready upstairs.  I didn’t know he could play the piano at all, and he hadn’t announced his intent to play — so the sudden onset of beautiful music came as a total surprise to me, and I had the instant need to pull out my phone and record the moment.  The house is fairly open, not divided up by a bunch of walls and closed doors, so the sound of the piano can be heard bouncing off the walls and filling the space.
