Linking to Panther File

2009-03-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

Well as you can see when you click on my images they do not go to my panther file. I tried to do this several times, but everytime I link the picture through the url, the image would be way to big for the blog. Several times I made the image smaller in photoshop, but it ended up still to big. This is why I left the images linked through the blogger.

Sound 5- Telephone Buzz

My last sound that I choose was from a telephone pole. This constant buzz was either coming from the telephone pole, or a little box that was connected to it. I never heard this sound before. It got annoying after a while to listen to it, because the sound was so over bearing. But, I feel that it can be striking for a very short period of time. I feel that this sound was also successful because it catches the attention of the listener.

Sound 4- Rain Gutter

It was a warm day, and the snow was melting. At this house there was a rain gutter in front, and every couple seconds a water droplet would go down and echo through the gutter. I felt this gave the sound a good rhythm like a pulse. I was amazed that the water driplets were so loud. The house was probably 30 feet from the side walk and the noise was pretty clear from there.

Sound 3- Wash Away

This sound was taken from a road drain. From being a warmer day outside, compared to most others, there was a constant flow of water coming into the drain. This made for a good continuous sound, which I captured. To make it interesting I moved the mics over the drain, going back and forth over it to create a fade of the sound intensity. I feel that this gives a good effect from one ear to the other.

Sound 2- The Air Hose

This second sound I found at a gas station. A man was filling up his car tires, and the nose that it was making I thought would be very interesting to hear. I felt that this sound was very interesting in a sense that it gave a good feel for the location. In this sound, there are background, middle ground, and foreground sounds. The combination I feel gives a good sense of the atmostphere.

Sound 1- Birds, Birds, Birds

This was one of my first sounds that I recorded on my walk. This sound consist of birds and working tools. This sound was a nice start to my walk because I felt like a got a dynamic sound right off the bat. Once I started recording the birds, a couple seconds later I could hear some working tools. This noise was unexpected and I felt it added a nice touch.

Drift Strategy

2009-02-13T08:54:00.000-08:00

For my drift one walk, I am planning on walking one block then turn right, walk another block then turn left, and keep on this path for as long as I can. If I hit a dead end, then at that point I will start over and begin my walk from that point on. My beginning point will be on the corner of N. Lake Drive and North Ave.
