Introduction

My name is Mike Adler and I am a college student majoring in Audio Arts and Acoustics at Columbia College Chicago. My goal in creating this blog is to use important aspects of my major, such as analyzing specific properties of different sounds and using those sounds to create a piece of audio, to show people (through recorded audio, of course) what the modern-day city of Chicago sounds like through the ears of an audio-phile. What I intend to do is gather various sound clips, or audio files, in different areas of Chicago and write a brief description of the location and source of the recorded sound. In the final post I will layer the collection of sound-files over each other to create a collage of sounds that, to me, represent Chicago in the way that I hear it.
