Ragging River


This is a clip that I took underneath the pedestrian bridge at the North Ave. Dam. The sound is one continues noise with no variation. I wanted to capture the power of moving water.

Little ripples in the ragging river



















This clip is of water slowly hitting the shoreline near the North Street Bridge. I found this clip to be the most interesting because it is not an easy noise to pick up when the river is ragging 10 feet out.

Birds n Horns


This clip was taken near the same location as my last clip. You can still here the helicopter but the focus is more on the birds. There were a whole bunch of birds chirping but I never actually found them. Click to listen

Chopper in the sky


The second interesting sound I picked up was on Brady across from the Walgreens. There was a helicopter hovering near the lake. It was to small to pick up on camera but definitely load enough to pick up on the mic.

Vacant marina











The first place I stopped at on my walk was at the McKinley marina. There was not a huge variety of sounds. Besides the hum of wind and traffic the noises were all related to what I expected to here at a marina. I picked up the sounds of seagulls, crows, and birds hanging out under a dock. The most interesting noise I heard was the noise of rope hitting flagpole on one the Sailboats.

Drift map



This is a map that shows the route I took as I made my way from the lake through town and along the river.
