Sound Walk

I did my sound walk in Columbus Circle, because it just happen to be the most convenient neighborhood at the time. At first this task was difficult because in this digital age I feel like we are slaves to cell phones. So I’d started the sound walk and mistakenly check my phone therefore, I had to start over. The sound walk was experience was eye-opening really because the sounds you hear are you wouldn’t normally hear because your mind is focused somewhere else. As I walk around the typical sounds you hear in New York City; the sounds of cars engines, the cars honking their horns, other people’s conversation, people soliciting tourist for a bike ride through Central Park, the sound of the horses. A weirdest thing I’ve was sound of the wind. This exercise made me looking for thing that I could hear things but not see. Yours ears are really more powerful than you think. The sound walk really makes you utilize your other sense. Of course the sound of a neighborhood varies depending on the time of day. The sound that was most unique to me was the sounds of animals. The sound of animals was so unique because you realize that the sounds that they make are their form of communication.
