My own soundwalk

After class I went to go design my own sound walk and take someone else's but I couldn't find anyone's on the blog? So I just wrote down everything I heard on my own walk.


Directions:(From the Union)
1) Cross the drag and take a left towards Medici's and stand in the threshold to listen.
2) Continue down Guadelupe, passed 22nd until you come to St. Austin's Catholic Church, go inside
3) From St. Austin's come back out onto the drag heading north and take a left onto 22nd. Walk a block to the moon tower, the tall tower with three bright lights and take a moment to stand under it.
 4) Walk west and take a left on Nueces. Follow the street to the corner of 21st and Nueces, under 21Rio apartment complex stand out side for a while.
 5) Walk west up 21st to the corner of Rio Grande, to your right should be a shop called the Bodega, go inside.

1) Street Intersection:
 Bus breaking
Students talking about their exam
Cars passing
Bike spoke 
Footsteps on concrete
Crosswalk beep
    Medici's
Computer keys
Murmuring

glass clinking
forks on plates

2) St. Austins
Creeking wooden door
Wooden pews creeking
Footsteps on marble floors
Humming of the AC

3) Moon Tower
Humming of the lights

Bugs floating in the air

Dog sniffing the ground, owner's footsteps on gravel and glass

4) Outside 21Rio
Music blaring from an apartment above
 Someone banging on the dumpster in the alley
cars breaking
street cat meowing
flies around the trash can
footsteps one the concrete
cars on loose gravel

5) Inside Bodega:
A\C running
