Clip 5: Oakland Walgreens

Oakland Walgreens

This recording I took halfway between Locust and Linnwood on Oakland, in a Walgreens Parking lot. There's a lot of traffic noise from Oakland, but the main point is a pair of foreign women talking to each other as they walked past.

Clip 4: Riverside Park

Riverside Park

This clip i took at the corner of Bartlett and Geneva, behing Riverside HS by the park. Off to the left there's a bunch of little kids yelling and playing. To the right there's some highschoolers messing around on skateboards and bikes. In the center some geese were honking as they landed.

Clip 3: Pedestrian

Pedestrian on Cambridge

This clip came from the corner of Cambridge and Linnwood. There's a few cars going by, and some guy with a cough. At the very end a truck making some really weird noises goes past.

Clip 2: Airplane

Airplane over Cambridge

This clip I recorded at Cambridge and Hampshire. I was at some kind of weird water-outlet station thing by the river, and there was a pipe with some water sounds coming out of it, you can hear it fairly well when the main point of the clip, the airplane passing overhead, isn't drowning it out.

Clip 1: Birdies

Birds on Cambridge

This first clip I recorded halfway between Providence and Murray on Cambridge. Not much is going on, it was very still and quiet when I recorded this, but the background hum of the city, as well as some tweety little birds are very noticable. Near the end there's a bit of wind and something crunching gravel a bit around the corner of a building.

Drift 1 Strategy

For my first drift I'll be starting at the Sandburg Towers walking south. Whenever i come to a street sign starting with the letter A-H i'll turn right, signs starting with I-R will have me continue straight, and signs starting with S-Z will have me turn left.



edit: Upon actually doing my drift, I encountered no left-turn signs, but many T-intersections that required me to go straight when I couldn't, so i turned left at those.
