nature

Sound recording of frogs chirping inside a water grate in a marshy ditch next to the Proctor Creek Greenway path while an airplane flies over the forest. Hearing the frogs exemplifies the welcoming culture of the PCG in that visitors’ senses are filled with natural sensations instead of those from the city. Recorded with Zoom H6 recorder and Rode NTG2 shotgun condenser.

Sounds of many different species of birds from the Proctor Creek Greenway that give a welcoming environment to the visitors, due to the comforting sounds of nature.  The sounds of footsteps and insects can be heard in the background of the recording.  The sound was recorded on the Sony PCM-M10 with the microphone Electro-Voice RE50B omnidirectional dynamic.

This is an audio recording of a Furman student walking through the tall grasses outside of North Village Housing on campus. It was recorded with an iPhone X.

Sound recording of a Pileated Woodpecker (Hylatomus pileatus) calling and drumming on a dead tree in the forest behind Furman University's Chapel. Rushing traffic on Poinsett Highway can be heard in the background. Smaller bird species can be heard vocalizing at times, but their presence is dwarfed by that of the woodpecker. 

This sound recording is of branches snapping as they are being bent and broken by a person's hands.  The branches were small, dry, and brittle as they had already fallen from the nearby trees on the side of Furman University's library. Recorded on Han4 Pro Zoom. 

Sound recording of the rooftop garden on top of the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons on a windy afternoon. The primary sounds include a group of students collaborating together for a project along with birds chirping.  The strong winds and the machinery noise from the Bunger-Henry building's roof across Tech Green are the secondary sounds.  The sound was recorded with an Apple iPhone 7 using the voice memos application. 

A recording of the usually flooded Skiles walkway at Georgia Tech. Today, a calm Saturday afternoon, the space was instead serene with the chirping of birds and a small echo of a performance in the amphitheater across Tech Green. There is also a light murmur of people playing Frisbee on the green. This is a rare sight to see as on any weekday there would be a cascade of noise on the walkway. Recorded with Lenovo Legion Y720 Realtek microphone with Dolby Atmos. Edited with Audacity Software.

Sound recording of the patio at west village that I would believe to be similar to the patio on the second floor of the living building. You should be able to hear the nature around the patio most prominently the birds chirping. Recorded on an iphone 8 plus in voice memos. 

Sound recording of birds chirping in the Paul G. Mayer Memorial Garden, across from the Price Gilbert Memorial Library (under renovation) and D.M. Smith building. It is a Friday around noon and class is letting out and it is sunny with a light breeze.

While sitting on a park bench, I saw a bunch of fallen sticks on the ground. I picked one up and starting to break them, only to realize they made a very satisfying cracking sound when played back.
