Were you able to find places and spaces where you could really listen?
Yes, Sandburg's parking garage had a lot of sounds with a lot of echoes along with the sounds.

Was it possible to move without making a sound?
No, it would be very difficult to do so.

What happened when you plugged your ears, and then unplugged them?
The sounds seemed to be a little bit more crisp but just a little more softer volume.

In your sound log exercise, what types of sounds were you able to hear? List them.
- heels clicking on cement walk, steady fast tempo
- construction/big trucks in distance, fading
- cricket chirps
- leafs brushing/crunching
- plane ascending in distance, fading away
- breaks squeaking
- paper pages blowing/flapping in the wind
- flip flops sticking sound on heel, slapping the heel, steady tempo
- skate board rolling over cement cracks
- birds chirping rapidly, high pitch
- feet dragging in woodchips and mulch
- car beeping
- feet brushing in the dry rough grass
- car tires over cracks in the road
- car door slamming shut, 3 different times, same car/place
- car turning over
- male voice " 7:30 on Saturday: Men's Soccer Plays!"
- boots clicking on cement walk
- water running
- computer mice clicking rapidly
- door squeaking then heavy thud
- more flip flops, flipping and flopping
- high pitch laugh/scream/yelp
- sacadas constant fading in and out
- ambulance in distance, growing loud then fading again
- keys twirling around a finger
- vents
- cell phone slapping shut
- chair pulling out, low pitch squeak

Were you able to differentiate between sounds that had a recognizable source and those sounds you could not place?
Yes, or atleast be able to make an educated guess on what the mystery sound could be.

Human sounds? Mechanical sounds? Natural sounds?
Heard a lot of all of these, mechanical was the most abundent with the cars and constant traffic.

Were you able to detect subtleties in the everpresent drone?
Not as much as when we took our hands off our ears.

Extremely close sounds? Sounds coming from very far away?
Cars and human sounds we close as well as far. Planes and sacadas were always fading away.

What kinds of wind effects were you able to detect (for example, the leaves of trees don't make sounds until they are activated by the wind)?
The wind sometime blocked sounds when it got really breazy.

Were you able to intervene in the urban landscape and create your own sounds by knocking on a resonant piece of metal, activating wind chimes, etc.?
Yes but they didn't have much volume.

Do you feel you have a new understanding or appreciation of the sounds of our contemporary landscape/cityscape?
Yes

How do you think your soundwalk experience will affect your practice as a media artist, if at all?
I will be listening closer more often now. Walking back home after class all I could think about is what I was hearing.
