Three Surprises

The most surprising thing about Drift 1 was the sonic character of my neighborhood. Even though it was mid-day, it was almost silent outside. Consciously capturing sounds really made me aware of this.

Following my sound-walk, I was surprised that there actually was some decent material in my recordings. I was expecting to have to go on a second walk, but I was pleased to find that was not the case.

Finally, I was surprised at the videos I made on Drift 2. In the field, they seemed varied and interesting, but in the studio, I was bored by them. I thought I had discovered some interesting strategies, but I don't think they translated into the actual images well.
