Bus travel observations and thoughts ... This time I contemplated the landscape of the transmitter in cp being the familiar feature of the return to cp from town... It's a geographical landmark now. I am also reminded of the posters advertising the fresh air of cp at it's similarly geographical landmark heights! (I wonder if the humps were there in the Victorian times...)
And one more - a Dino with questions and interpretation :)
Cool! Visible Storage & Study Centre at Brooklyn Museum....
Jam packed Westow Park for the crystal palace overground festival... Where I was happy to meet some familiar faces as well as some previously twitter only acquaintances. I also met some new locals at their stalls (and shops) - i introduced myself and handed out some little flyers to try and recruit more trail participants!
One more of The Cloisters just because....
#100happydays day 3 not really a noticing something but more happy that I think I've finished another audio trail segment.... Now to wait and see if people are happy with it :)
So yesterday I had the help of a friend to try out my new tascam audio recorder! Epping Forest - well a side road was the destination and all seemed to go ok! I just need to be brave and go out and practice myself now. We tried out my lovely rycote windjammer and tried out different recording levels and a couple of microphone positions. I'll maybe upload an excerpt at some point! If anyone wants to know any more technicalities then I can let them know.
I've also been thinking a bit more about interview questions for people contributing. I already have a list, but as I get nearer that point and talk with people, it becomes a bit clearer I think. In the past day or so I have decided that it would be a good idea to concentrate on a first few initial locations for the purpose of my course project. If there are more stories to be told, then I can continue with them in my own time. I feel like it takes the pressure off a bit to have a complete tour and it written about before the end of August! I shall see! I am thinking of concentrating on the top of the park, because the bottom already has the dinosaur audio tour. I'll keep you updated!
Am I causing more distractions for myself or creating something that will be of productive use for my final course project and of an interesting read for others? Only time will tell! Lets see if this posts to Twitter and or Facebook!
