1. Were you able to find places and spaces where you could really listen?
yes
2. Was it possible to move without making a sound?
not exactly
3. What happened when you plugged your ears, and then unplugged them?
it opened my sense of sound a little more
4. What types of sounds were you able to hear? List them. If your original notes are legible, and include all of the sounds you heard, then simply link to the scanned image(s). If not, retype them so that we can read them.
5. Were you able to differentiate between sounds that had a recognizable source and those sounds you could not place?
6. Were you able to differentiate human, mechanical, and natural sounds?
yes, but not always.
7. Were you able to detect subtleties, changes, or variations in the everpresent drone?
yes, after a while sounds in the room took on forms of patterns.
8. Extremely close sounds? Sounds coming from very far away?
9. 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.?
10. Do you feel you have a new understanding or appreciation of the sounds of our contemporary landscape/cityscape?
to be honest, being somebody that actively records field sounds and music i have already been an active listener but this activity was nice.
11. How do you think your soundwalk experience will affect your practice as a media artist, if at all?
i think it helped me understand the patience it takes to really listen.
yes
