Listening Exercise: Locked Out

Image

I chose to go to a corner bench area where I waited for my roomate on a day I was locked out of my house. I tried to keep my eyes closed but I didn’t like it. Overall this was a calming experience. I’m going to describe my experience on in a stereo format, with a left, right and middle aural experience.

CAR NOISES PERSIST THE WHOLE TIME – STOP, GO, ACCELERATE, SLOW

JaCkHaMmEr

car squeak – perhaps brakes or just an axel

birds chirp

Bike chain jingles

chain hits the ground

chain gets wrapped up; the whole time car noises & bird chirps disappear to me – then suddenly spring back…but the jackhammer is gone.

voices, [my own sniffle], a distant laugh

the sound of a storefront gate closing…no wait, just a motorcycle revving up

chainsaw? something like a chainsaw where the jackhammer used to be

child repeatedly yelling a one syllable word (probably ‘mom’)

metal banging on metal in rhythmic fashion

more kids and voices

one kid just going ‘ahhhhhh’ over and over

metal pipe hits the floor

my own sniffle, again

wind, followed by light raindrops

trash being moved by said wind
