Sound recording of a riding lawn mower driving with the metal clicking of the blades down a concrete trail near a moderately sized creek on a humid summer day. Recorded with a Zoom H6 recorder and Rode NTG2 shotgun condenser microphone. 

"The James River" is a half minute recording done on an IPhone 6s recorded on top of the rocky outskirts of the James River. The recording depicts the sounds of water that have whispered for centuries amidst the bouldered landscape. This recording relates to the story "Twelve Years a Slave" from chapter five when the "Orleans" brig was trafficking slaves throughout the James River, steered toward the docks in Norfolk, Virginia.
