During our workshop, I spoke with Erika, a fellow Macaulay student. We started off by listening to each other’s audio recordings, and Erika’s consisted of the sounds of birds chirping and streetlights signalling the right of way for pedestrians.
She had chosen to record on a street corner near a farmers market that she had passed on her way to the Macaulay building this morning. Additionally, she thought she might be able to capture the sound of conversations, as people often walk through the area she was in.
In her free time, Erika likes to color, though she doesn’t like to draw very often. She also used to play the flute in her middle school and high school band, preferring to play music she could recognize such as themes from movies rather than classical music.
After graduation, she hopes to go to grad school to continue studying environmental science. One of her current urban studies classes is helping her learn more about environmental sustainability, a subject she’s interested in exploring further in the future.
