footsteps

Ben Koehler, Noelle Pickard, Elizabeth Williamson, Jason Zhou, Lauren Zhou

Sound recording of a peaceful, late-morning walk along West Side Atlanta's Proctor Creek Greenway, with the sounds of birds singing. Also included are sounds made by a backpack rubbing against polyester athletic shorts. The warm songs of the birds welcome visitors to continue walking along the pathway to explore where it leads to. Recorded with Sony PCM-M10 recorder and an Electro-Voice RE50B omnidirectional dynamic microphone.

Proctor Creek Greenway and its lush greenery provide a temporary escape from the busy streets of Atlanta, as the natural sounds of birds chirping and footsteps can be heard in the background. Yet, the sound of the airplane flying over in the audio recording is a gentle reminder of how close the trail is to the city. With Emerald Corridor Foundation's future plans and its close proximity, the Greenway will be accessible to and from the heart of Atlanta, creating a safe pathway between itself and Georgia Tech's Kendeda Living Building. Recorded with the Zoom H5 Recorder and Rode NTG2 Shotgun Condenser Microphone. 

Sound recording at the water fountain in CULC, Georgia Tech. Recorded on Thursday night after an exam held in the auditorium. Recorded with iPhone 6 and polished by Audacity.
