Three recordings at Veteran's Park near McKinley Marina




RECORDING 1
Marked as "X1" on the map.


I spent perhaps twenty minutes following a small snow plow back and forth along a foot path in Veteran's Park near the marina.

This was the only recording in which my mics were handheld. I would walk to where I thought the best sounds were, attempting to get as close as I could to the plow. However, everytime I moved so did the snow plow, away from me!


RECORDING 2
Marked "X2" on the map.


A park and ride bus pulling into the lot at Veteran's Park.

For this recording my mics were sitting on a waist high concrete wall near a picnic shelter perhaps 25 feet from where the bus finally came to a stop. They were about a foot apart and remained perfectly stationary during the entire recording.


RECORDING 3
Marked as "X3" on the map.


The wind rattled the bells atop the masts of many of the boats that were dry docked at the Milwaukee County Sailing Club.

For this recording my mics were stationed atop the chain link fence surrounding the dry dock area and were left stationary for about 10 minutes.
