Soundwalk Response
1. I didn't really have any issues finding areas to listen. Everything was clear and there weren't any overwhelming or distracting sounds.
2. I found it virtually impossible to move without making sounds. I picked up a lot of noise even moving my hand along the mic cord.
3. After i unplugged my ears, they appeared a lot more sensitive to the smallest sounds. Had I just listened normally, I probably wouldn't have been able to pick up as much.
4. people laughing, elevator ding, people typing, vending machine humming, keys opening doors, people replacing copy paper, computers running, feet sliding on carpet, heater blowing, voices dampened by walls, water fountain running, someone filling up a water bottle, clock ticking, keys jingling, paper crumpling, door latching, man putting his coat on, foreign language, elevator door creaking
5. It depended on what the sound was. Although I couldn't see people laughing, I could easily identify it, but there were more ambient sounds like creaking and humming that I couldn't put my finger on exactly.
6. Differentiating between human and machine sounds was pretty easy. I think I've heard enough of them throughout my life to be able to tell the difference.
7. I noticed a change in volume primarily as things approached me or got further away, but never really heard a change in the sound themselves.
8. See question 7.
9. Yea, I did create my own sounds, but it felt like I was trying too hard to create something special. I should've just taken it as is. I like the more natural approach opposed to the synthetic.
10. Absolutely. I appreciate the sounds I hear a lot more. Not to mention I pick up on things I otherwise would've ignored.
11. I think it'll bring an added element of focus to sound. Usually I think about getting sound to match the visuals, but now I find myself thinking the other way. I'll look more at using the sound as the focus of the piece.
