Inspired by the culture and sounds of Milwaukee, I have come up with a plan to experience both and record my experience. Being new to Milwaukee, I have not been able to experience much more than the travel between my home on Brady Street and the UWM campus. In order to get out and experience a new part of town, I biked west on North Avenue until the number's got high and locked my bike up on the corner of 42nd and North. From there I took out my homemade microphones from my backpack, got out my map and made sure I knew where I was at, and starting walking in a strict pattern, attentively listening for sounds to record. The pattern I walked was simple:
Straight - Left - Right - Straight - Right - Left
If I came to a dead-end, I turned around and continued where I left off. The results led to mostly boredom and noises of semi-trucks, but my route occasionally led me to an interesting and sometimes captivating sound to record. In this blog I record my results.
If you are hear to listen to these sounds, enjoy. If you are here to critique these sounds, please, dear god, wear some good headphones and have an open mind. I'm trying to recreate the sounds of the city in a different context then they are normally heard. So turn off your I-tunes and listen.
