Strategy

My drift strategy was a pretty standard algorithimic iteration; the zig-zag. Once I reached lake Michigan I reversed this pattern. The only exception to my strategy included the U.W.M. Union and of course Zelazo complex.

Not Running Water




I was confronted by a problem when I found my creative style constrained realizing that I would not be able to record running water as a sound clip. I quickly remedied this problem when I decided to create a twist on the sound. Being the humorous individual that I am I used my innovation to discover a running water clip that no one before me had thought of; you may recognize it when you listen to the clip. I recorded it inside my apartment before setting out on my epic quest.


Snow Falling In Water




After relieving myself at my apartment, I continued my trek to Hubbard Park and found a very complex sound; snow melting into a small stream. I quickly recorded the sound and continued on.

Snow Shoveling and Icicles Falling



During my walk I noticed a man shoveling snow, I politely inquired if I would be able to record this activity. He agreed and I was able to record this interesting sound. I was suprised listening to the recording later to find the sound of icicles falling.

Piano Union






After my long journey I decided to stop at the union in order to secure more sound clips. I was lucky enough to stumble into the main lobby when a pianist was playing a set. The sound reverberated off the walls casting an intricate sound into the air. I was delighted by the effect this had on my sense of hearing and immediately recorded the set.

Zelazo Center-Orchestra



After visiting the union I decided to cross the street and enter the zelazo building. I felt compelled to find an interesting sound that would differentiate my project from others. Sure enough I was not dissapointed. Fortunately on the day that I decided to record there was a concert going on here. I had never heard classical music played in such an acousticly superior setting. I recorded midway into the set trying my best not to disturb the performance or other spectators.
