strategizing.

For my walk, instead of using the die method, I decided due to the lack of directionial changes available along the park, I did a zig-zag method. Now the reason I used the zigzag and not the die, is because I had repeatedly had problems with my recorder, where it would delete all of my sounds.

Being a little saddened by the loss of my work, I decided to take one short walk (meaning I didn't go that far) but also a walk that I would be able to get the sounds I was looking for in adequate time. Overall, I really think this worked for me.

For my starting point, I'm going to start at Jacobus park, (6501 W Hillside Ln), in Wauwatosa, near the village. I think there is going to plenty of sounds to hear, considering its pretty diverse in it's surroundings. I walked along the road within the parkway and went from one side to the other and went exploring in those directions. Although there isn't much change in my selected area of walking, I explored for a good amount of time.

dog.

So as this girl was passing by me on my walk, she asked me what I was doing with my funny looking mics and she wanted to help. I got some pretty interesting sounds from her canine.
He was making quite a bit of noise.

birds.

After having much issues with a couple of geese, as I embarrassed myself and almost got pecked, I finally got something to piece together.

ducks.

So one of my pretty rad sounds that I got would be the ducks from the pond within the park. As you can tell when you listen the ducks they ended up flying off into the abyss. Here are the ducks. <---hit that for some sound!

bridge.

The story goes that underneath the bridge there is a troll. Well under the bridge I found, was a beaver, well just his house. I'm not going to go in and find him while he's sleeping and prolly hungry! But as I found this, I noticed the noises of people walking around me along with the water under the bridge.

tunnel.

After many attempts of finding the best possible sound area around it, I got just what I wanted out of the tunnel.
