I like how everyday sounds, when taken out of context, can turn into something completely different.  This led me to try the Familiar Sounds assignment.  I began by recording my bathroom fan in Audacity.  The sound itself is very rhythmic, and has a somewhat industrial feel to it.  This …

Daily Sounds

Recording daily sounds was an assignment that made my roommates think I’m crazy. I walked around the house with my phone recording noises of my alarm, flushing the toilet, using the microwave, locking my door, and more. It’s interesting to listen to the sounds isolated. I never really think about …

Tlick-Tlock

A familiar sound in my room, pretty annoying to everyone else. It’s the ticking of my wall clock, a sound I never noticed until I had my boyfriend stay the night. It kept us both up at night once it was pointed out to me, it is an easy fix…
