I took the 14 bus route. I got off at Astor and walked along the route for some of the time. I really wanted to go at my own pace so then I wouldn't miss any opportunities to get an interesting sound.

      After listening to the interview with Daniel Kalder, I believe that I have a better understanding of the term "anti-tourist". He describes an anti-tourist as someone who, "Seeks locked doors and demolished buildings... they travel at the wrong time of year." (Kalder). This type of person (anti-tourist) is someone who loves to explore the "unknown" places and has a sense of wanderlust. They have the need to experience things for themselves. In the interview Kalder spent some time describing places that he had visited where he felt that it was not the recommended or necessarily the most mainstream place to visit. While visiting these places he got a broader picture of the people who lived there and their culture. I connected to this idea of anti-tourism; I have always been fascinated by old places that seem to have been forgotten and left behind by society. I have always rejected the image of the demanding tourist who goes where they are told, I would rather learn about another place or culture by immersing myself in that environment. My idea of the anti-tourist is someone who would rather be immersed in a place than experience the bear minimum, someone who would rather explore places that seem to be left forgotten or untouched, someone who, as Daniel Kalder said, "Rejects the common path"(Kalder). 

Field Recording

Field Recording 1

I went to make my recordings across from the Pick and Save off of N. Commerce St. I was standing across the street from the store at the top of a flight of stairs that leads you to a trail that can take you along the river. It was around two in the afternoon when I went. I wanted to see if I could capture the sounds of nature and the sounds of people driving past. I got sounds of cars and even a plane passing by, but none of the river.

In this edit I played around with softer, natural, darker sounds. I also wanted to have one beat that would persist through out the edit, but that sounds making the beat would change. I tried to have all of the sounds flow so that they worked together rather than clash.
