While going on this soundwalk in class I noticed that I was really paying attention to every little noise around me because that was the sole purpose of the walk and my mind wasn't taken up by anything else. I think that my recording from now on will be having my phone out ready to record, but to go on walks mainly to pay attention to noise in order to complete this project. I could hear very small details during class today including the rustling of leaves in the trees and other people's breathing and footsteps. I really believe in the idea that humans have a deep unexplored connection to nature and the idea of not having technology while listening to the environment around me makes it easier for me to pick out which sounds are natural and which are man made. Ceraso's view on multimodal listening with the entire body is a way to appreciate nature and my immediate surroundings that go unnoticed on a day to day basis. I'm interested to see which method of recording is most effective for me and which one I will enjoy more, or whether or not those will end up being the same thing. My guess is that I'll probably try to record long snippets so I don't have to worry about my phone while going on these walks and picking the best parts of these recordings as opposed to me taking out my phone and quickly trying to record a sound before it ends.
