Some of the Things I Heard, 26 May 2010

  • alarm multiple times with 10 minutes of silence in between
  • brushing teeth
  • walking on concrete
  • walking down concrete steps
  • subway sounds, which included a very interesting wavering rumble (the train stimulated a resonance of the tunnel)
  • fan noise along with the sound of coffee being poured
  • crumpling of paper bag
  • chewing
  • typing and clicking for many hours accompanied by various office sounds and conversations, scooting of chairs, other people's computer interactions, arguments
  • carrying a desk loudly in a loud freight elevator
  • putting a desk together
  • the scraping of heavy shelves pushed on hardwood floors
  • more computer interaction
  • cocktail party and award ceremony (conversations of my own with others' conversations in the background)
  • subway again, no resonances were noticed this time
  • the dull hissing and thuds at the laundromat
  • Morton Feldman's "The Kind of Denmark" (probably played louder over speakers than he intended for it to be listened to)
  • these computer interaction sounds
