It was very spooky and terrifying bomb cyclone on full moon day. The rainstorm was hitting vigorously on my studio window. The police car with siren on was rushing through.

frog
Gold Springs, Columbia, California
At 11:30pm, The tree frogs in Jolly's Pond were croaking at a deafening level tonight. It was so loud, it hurt the ears. The surface of the pond was full of ripples, and you could see individual frogs floating and croaking, producing waves.

As I was walking I heard unusual sound coming out of the sewer
It is very fascinating and the repetition of sound pattern is precisely predictable

Today was just gorgeous, cloud cover, but gorgeous. Then this, the frogs in my little reflection pond, were just intense! The other frogs were in my pond, but these in this little pond were intense. You won't see much as it was dark outside, but just listen...

Green wild parrots were gathering in their nest at sunset
The parrots nested on the dead tree. It is inspiring that the intense and exciting birds sounds bring a full life on the dead tree.

Colobus Chorus
Kibale National Park, Uganda
We can hear various black and white colobus monkeys do their characteristic croaking alarm calls.
The colobus in the far distance must have been spooked by something, and their warning calls resonate through the forest as more and more colobus from various locations throughout join in with the chorus. It was overall an extremely quiet night and I am not sure what made the colobus call to each other, but they are generally quite vocal throughout the late night / early morning period, so it's not such a strange occurence.

Cooking
Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT, USA
I recorded myself cooking fried eggs and tomatoes in the kitchen at Japanese Hall during spring break. I chose to record cooking because eating is an essential activity for survival of all life forms in all era. Cooking with various tools, such as knife, pan, oven is a specific modernized human activity. The process entails cutting ingredients of different texture and an intensive chemical reaction between hot oil and raw materials, which would provide complex and interesting sounds.
I find the sound from the fan louder and catches more attention in the recording than in real life. It sounds like a constant white noise that is hard to ignore, but while I was cooking I would not be constantly aware of its presence after it is on for several minutes. This sometimes results in forgetting to turn off the fan, which would potentially cause energy waste. I also find the different textures of food pretty interesting to listen to. While I was cutting those ingredients, I usually pay more attention to other aspects of their texture, such as shape, color and hardness, which would influence more on how I cut them or how they will contribute to the final appearance of my dish. I tend to ignore the sound they produce while being cut.

Washing Machine
Brooklyn, NY
This recording was taken on March 19th, 2018, at 12:20 PM in my house in Brooklyn, New York. It consists of the sounds produced by a washing machine. I wanted to capture these sounds because they represent the environmental concern of wasting water.
Not only this, but the regularity within the repetitive sound of a washing machine also represents that neglecting and wasting water has become a regular event. Much like the repetitive drone of the machine that can easily be ignored and forgotten, so is the fact that so much water in the world is being wasted.

Napili Point, Maui, Hawaii
Recorded on 3/20/18 at 11:35 am. Napili Point, Maui, Hawaii. Intended to capture the peacefulness of listening to the ocean, contrasted with human sounds made by tourists/beach visitors.
Experience alerted me to sounds I'd not been thinking about -- wind, conversation, birds, splashes, etc -- and allowed me to better understand the interaction between the ocean and those enjoying it.Discovered that appreciating the sound of the ocean is very different than simply sitting on the beach; found myself thinking about all the life within the ocean and how human interaction with the noise of the waves diminishes its beauty and serenity

More than one third of frog species are considered to be threatened with extinction and over 120 are believed to have become extinct since the 1980s around the world.
This is one of unique and joyous sounds among thousands of various frog vocalizations.
