Bucket Works.

As I was heading back from Time Square, I saw a very interesting design on the side of a building. I decided to record. As I started to record two people walked out of the building, i then I ended up in the middle of a slightly mysterious conversation. For the sound click here.

Time Square.

This is where Time Square falls on the map, it is almost the polar opposite of what one would expect when they hear the words Time Square. To listen to the sounds click here.

Blue Building.

Out of all of my sounds, I found that this recording came closest to the hustle and bustle one would expect to hear while in Manhattan. For the sound click here.

Empire State Building.

The first sound I decided to use is the sounds found outside The Empire State building. I sat on one of the benches and placed my microphone next to me. The passing cars made interesting sounds when they passed by a bump on the road. For the sound click here.

My Drift Strategy.

I've always wanted to visit New York, but I have never been able to. For this little experiment I decided to go to sight seeing in Manhattan without leaving the Milwaukee County. I named this experiment, Pictures of A City, after a song by King Crimson. I went on google maps and typed in the Manhattan, New York and selected some interesting sights, such as Time Square, Madison Square Garden, and the Empire State Building. I then looked up another map, I typed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The reason I did this is because I know that if you type in the name of a city in Google Maps it will show you the center of the city. Originally I was only going to take pictures of land marks in Manhattan, but I thought it would be more interesting if I also took pictures and sound recordings of interesting locations in Milwaukee. Instead of getting too technical and complex with my map, I went with a simple approach; every time I crossed a street in Milwaukee, I crossed a street on the map of Manhattan. There were obvious differences in the city structure, but I think I came out with some interesting results. Stay tuned for sound recordings and pictures of Manhattan, brought to you by Milwaukee!
