Blog 2: The Soundwalk

In my Experience with the Sound walk I found the most interesting thing to be the monotony of my own sounds in compared to the noise around me. My task was to indulge in some retail therapy would usually causes me to zone out in the shuffling among the clothes on the rack.

After first walking though the streets of Queens were you hear careless chatter , buses coming to a halt and music blasting from various stores the quiet of a department store is like Zen to me. What I did find interesting as well was the noise among the racks of hangers and the idle conversations of couples in their decision making and suggestions of purchases it's quite funny sometimes you kind of feel like a fly on the wall eavesdropping. Added to that for me is the silence of the inner voice telling me out that down, you don't need that, that can wait. It's quite a task listening to your kind speak, and I'm sure I'm not crazy.

All in all it was a great experience tuning out so that I can tune into what is around me and what surrounds me even if it was mostly the inner workings of my mind at least I didn't answer myself.
