The fountain at the end of the world, er walk.

The fountain was my last stop on my drift walk. Where was this fountain you ask? Why it was a large fountain at the Milwaukee Art Museum that I walked around and recorded the sounds of water and wind passing under the bridge and traffic and Summerfest echoing, so overall I think it was a very interesting recording. The fountain itself sounds kind of like waves for some reason which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I think I may have been pretty burned out at this point as in sun burned but that was alright. It was a good place to end and gave me a sweet recording. Listen here. Final recording of the day.

Phantom in the park.

This sound is one I really enjoyed. When I was walking through a park by Prospect and Juneau I started to hear crazy echoing and reverberation around the park as the sounds of Summerfest were traveling way up the hill towards me. I could see the grounds far off in the distance and it was a pretty great view. This particular recording sounds like phantom voices to me and is one of several of the sounds of Summerfest. I chose this one over the others because it is less clear as to what you are hearing where as some of the others you could tell what song was being played. Pretty crazy how far the sounds carry.

Wave over here, or is it over there.

So as my drift walk took me down to the beach I decided to pick up some classic sounds of the waves washing up on shore by my feet. Luckily this sound was accented by a boat revving off in the distance. However not too long ago I found myself filming the waves and reversing them for a video of different things in reverse. The video had no sound however so I didn't get to hear how the waves sounded that way, so with this clip the entire sounds have been reversed. Strangely the boat still sounds like its revving up and up so I am not sure exactly what was going on when I first recorded it with that. Anyways here it is enjoy.

Pepe's taco

This is the 2nd of several recordings outside of restaurant/bars where I picked up interesting music and city sounds. This particular one is at Pepe's rock'n Taco Shack on Farwell Ave.

Creeky Sound

During my walk I ended up traveling down a forest path which was a very unpleasant experience. I immediately was swarmed by 10,000 mosquitos but towards the end of the path I did manage to get a good recording of a creek going into a sewer dome. The microphones were placed inside the dome for this recording.

Drift #1-plan and maps

For my first drift I started out pretty close to Campus on Downer Ave. Then I used the left right pattern until I hit the lake. At this point I took on a random pattern of turns going south overall where I ended up at the Art Museum.

Here is my map
