By Melissa Dubrow and Sabrena Hassan
While Sabrena and I were walking around together, we both captured different and various sounds of New York City. While interviewing Sabrena she told me that she took sounds of people walking and talking and she said that in New York City you constantly hear different sounds. Hearing people walking around and background conversation is just an ordinary sound to hear in NYC and we don’t notice it or internalize it until we’re reflecting on it. Hearing different voices and walking reminds her of the diversity of NYC and how we’re all different from each other and we all talk differently. I liked how she mentioned that people’s different shoe wear also contributed to the sounds and how individual style is something very alive in NYC culture.
