Field Recording #6
Location: Houlihan’s (the restaurant) in a booth.
Sounds heard in the clip: Eliza is singing along with the music that is playing: Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield. I am heard saying “Wait for the break” Stefanie says that we need to “get some harmonies in there” and there is general murmur of people talking in the restaurant underneath. Very fun times.
Field Recording #2
Location: Sushi Ya Restaurant, Garden City, New York — February 14, 2013, 10:14 pm
Sounds heard: general “happy human” sounds, i.e. a euphony of lovebirds chatting in the small room, with the exception of the couple at the table next to ours, who can be heard bickering (“I’m not shallows, don’t call me shallow.”) Stephen and I tease each other with phony, hackneyed expressions of love (“Your eyes are like limpid pools of…”) At one point, Stephen begins explaining to me the concept of moshing at a concert, and two waiters can be heard nearby speaking a foreign language to one another.
