Recorded on October 6, 2007




















I found some water jugs at a rummage sale and I was instantly reminded of my high school math teacher who would bang water jugs together to wake sleeping students. So I put the microphones in the jugs and banged them together. The result is the vibrating science fictiony sound you hear.

Recorded on October 6, 2007






As I was walking down Washington Street I heard the sound of the chimes coming from someones backyard. As I recorded the one thing I worried about was if the homeowner would come out upset that I was recording without permission. Luckily it seemed as though no one was home.
