Lost in Traffic

During the audio recording walks I began recording Licoln Memorial Drive along Lake Michigan. I had planned to take only 2 minutes or so of the cars, to get one last nice sound for the day and call it quits. I was anxious to get home and some food. However, the mics were picking up the cars so well, that I had decided to get another minute or so. The separation between Right and Left tracks was perfect. The variations in sound as different numbers of cars passed in different direction was both interesting and relaxing. Very soon, I was lost in this sonic soundscape. I felt that the sun had nearly set prompting me to end my recording, I looked at my MD recorded to find that the track of the traffic was over 25 minutes long.
