Hunter led us on the soundwalk this week and it was such a different experience to follow rather than lead a walk. My mind definitely wandered more as we went around campus without a map laid out in my head. But there were definitely some very cool sound moments!
We started at the fountain.
Walked through the outside parts of the art museum building. Buzzing lights.
To a building that literally hummed. A pitch with overtones.

In between buildings close together. Close sounds.
Into a covered courtyard. So quiet. There were a ton of plants and the fountain wasn’t running, so small sounds were magnified. The coarseness of fingernails across denim as someone scratched their knee. The soft pats of our footsteps.
Continuing on. The distant clock chiming. Deeper-sounding footsteps as we changed surfaces.

A mass of birds growing in intensity and volume as we moved towards the tree they were in. Such a force! During our later discussion, someone commented on the juxtaposition of this moment, such aural activity coming from visual stillness.
We finished in the garden again. Nearby conversation. Planes. Bird.
