- it is 11:02 I am laying in bed
- 2. the sounds furthest from me are the cars on the turnpike. my window is open so I can also hear the wind and sometimes a plane overhead
- At medium range I can hear my neighbors in their backyard, they are talking and laughing
- The sounds closest to me are the podcast that I’m listening to quietly on my phone and the sound of my stomach (I think I’m still hungry)
- There is a lot of sound activity but it is all pretty quiet overall
- Calm
- The podcast, the laughter from next-door, and the wind are essential

Journal Entry #4
- Friday March 31st @3:25PM: inside the ceramic studio office
- I can hear the faint sounds of voices from the class happening in the ceramic studio and the sliding of the metal stools across the cement floor.
- The sinks running and the hum of the kiln room fan
- Closest to me I can hear footsteps as people walk by the office doors as well as the sound of the door opening and closing.
- There is a fair amount of activity but it is still relatively quiet – just a lot of ambient noise interspersed with voices
- Liminal
- The hum of the fan is essential, as are the distant voices and metal stools. I think what’s key in creating the environment is way in which they overlap and give the sense that there is something happening in the other room but not here. Like when you fall asleep on the couch next to a room full of people.
Field recording #2
This was recorded at the ceramic studio – you can hear the hum of the kiln room fan in the background, a bucket being slid across the floor, my hand hitting the doorknob, my footsteps towards our clay reclaim machine, the sounds of the plastic cover being taken off, the sound of the machine being turned on, and then finally my footsteps back to my phone.
