Sound And The City: Deep Listening

This week for Sound And The City we were asked to do a bit of "deep listening".  This essentially consists of spending twenty minutes in a given environment, focusing entirely on the environmental sound in that area.  This includes having your eyes closed, doing nothing else, and generally paying as much attention as possible.  After the twenty minutes are up, one takes notes (of any kind they desire) on the experience, and the result is a "deep listening" log.

Daniel (course instructor) asked us in class to name a place we loved in New York - I chose the west side highway park, where I run daily.  The trick here was that this then became the site of our deep listening experience.  My log from the experience is pictured above, while an mp3 of the same time period is below.  Enjoy!
