Vocal pt. 1
This is an interview between myself and an acquaintance about Margaret Cho's stand up tour that came to Milwaukee in Fall of 2009.

Unnamed Sound
https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/severn/public/Film_116/UnnamedSound.mp3
I jumped on rte. 11 going south and then got off at Wisconsin Ave and Jackson. I walked down Jackson and turned right onto E St. Paul Ave. Then I went into the Public Market on S. Water St and listened to all the sounds in the building and tried to pick out the more interesting ones. I noticed this large cold case refrigerator making a humming sound. I recorded it at a high and low mic sensitivity and decided to use the high sensitivity recording because it is more pronounced, clean and the fidelity is faithful to its source.

Field recording -- Drift
https://pantherfile.uwm.edu/severn/public/Film_116/Anderson_Drift01.mp3
I captured “abstract train” at the tail end of my four hour drift; my hand was a foot away from the train as it roared past me behind a warehouse at seventh and Florida. This clip was extracted from a four minute take at 5:00 p.m. Thursday March 11th. After listening to this clip the past week I thought about how this sound could also be the sound of metal or heavy aluminum being wrapped around itself, possibly at a recycling center.

I named this clip “shop”; it was recorded at W. Pierce St. and Cesar Chavez at a different auto body shop at 3:55 p.m. Thursday March 11th. There is a machine making a clapping sound in the background, a man speaking in the middle ground and his voice transitions to the foreground. At times his voice is drowned out by the dominant sound of a grinder, grinding a metal car part in the foreground. My mike placement for this recording was a mike in each hand placed between two separate garage doors.

I named this clip “Sparks”; it was recorded outside of an open garage door at an auto body shop in Milwaukee at Cesar Chavez and National Ave at 3:30 p.m. Thursday March 11th. There is a radio playing in the background and the dominant sound is the sparks being made by a power tool in the foreground.

Found Audio
"Anxiety"
These sounds pan out for the listener, it is unusual to hear some of these sounds continue for as long as they do. I wanted these everyday sounds to make that person seem as if he were uncomfortable like the man talking, to the point where the listener may feel unable to cope with being at peace. It is abstract for the listener but mundane from the man's perspective.
