Sound Post #1: Squishy, Squashy

On Saturday, February 28, I decided I'd procrastinated on my Drift 1 walk long enough, so I gathered up my recording things and had my brother drop me off at Drexel around 11:00 AM. In 20 degree weather.

And I forgot my notebook and pen too. So I figured that I'd take pictures where I did sound recordings, and do it from memory later on. I know, not a great plan. But that didn't matter anyway because it was
freezing. I didn't even have enough feeling in my fingers to press the right buttons on my Sony Hi-MD recorder or my digital camera. I had to give up after 45 minutes.

I did, however, get some nice sounds. At the time, most of the ice on the river had melted, but there were still sheets of ice hanging over the edges, like so:


♥ Pretty! ♥

Also, ice had formed over the mud on the trail by the woods. It made weird squishy and crackly noises when I stepped on it. Fun.

(I'd estimate the time of this recording at around 11:20)
