Drift Atlas

For this project we had to create three different kinds of maps about the same thing. One was called a Sound body map, another was called Soundwalk map, and the final one was Sound log notes. Here they all are.

Next we were asked to answer a series of questions.

1) Were you able to find places and spaces where you could really listen? Yes, right by the piano in the Union.
2) Was it possible to move without making a sound? Not really beacuse my purse made lots of noise.
3) What happened when you plugged your ears, and then unplugged them? When I unplugged my ears i could hear alot more sounds than before.
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. The link to my notes on what I heard are above.
Were you able to differentiate between sounds that had a recognizable source and those sounds you could not place? Yes however I did not hear a nose that I was not able to place.
Were you able to differentiate human, mechanical, and natural sounds? Yes, very easily too.
Were you able to detect subtleties, changes, or variations in the everpresent drone? I believe that I was able to however I guess I am not fully sure that I was able to understand the question.
Extremely close sounds? Sounds coming from very far away? I was able to hear sounds that were right infront of me and then sounds from the street.
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.? No I was not.
Do you feel you have a new understanding or appreciation of the sounds of our contemporary landscape/cityscape? Yes I do. I can hear noses more clearly.
How do you think your soundwalk experience will affect your practice as a media artist, if at all? As of right now I am not sure how this will have affected my media experience.
