Trek Assessment #2 "Bliss"

With one microphone through a sewer grate and one on the edge of the pavement I felt eerily at ease. I was blown away at the world of sounds literally racing beneath my feet. A sewer is something that is common and mostly dull, but it was the experience of hearing something that most people wouldn’t stop to think twice about that was most engaging for me.

Another time I felt totally at ease was at Bradford beach. It was one of the earliest sounds I recorded and I could hear every wave so fully and beautifully that I found it hard to leave the beach. I have always loved the beach. Hearing the sound of the rushing waves brought back many positive memories. The air was warm and the water was cool and it was a very peaceful experience.
