Drift Strategy


I just recently moved to the Milwaukee area so in an attempt to get to know my surroundings better I went on a walk and made field recordings as I went with my nifty pair of homemade stereo mics.

The Strategy for my soundwalk was that I would go to Lake Michigan and travel north staying as close to the shore of the lake as I could. I started in Bay View and kept going until I hit where the river and the lake intersect and could not go any further. I left around 8 PM on a Tuesday and got to my endpoint a tad after midnight so all sounds were captured at night.

What I ended up with is I think a rather evocative collection of sounds from the city after dark.
