My idea for the Soundscape 3 podcasting assignment was to describe the walk to the forum at the University of New England. Most of my classes take place at the forum as well as my practice everyday. Therefore I thought it would be a good idea to talk about what I see. On another note, the forum is the furthest place to walk to from the main campus. And a lot of students don’t enjoy the walk. So I wanted to talk more about how interesting the walk is rather than how dreadful it is. 

I first started with what I see, hear, and smell when I walk out of my dorm building. Being so close to the water, I can feel the wind almost every day. And the smell of the fresh salt water either high or low tide, is always refreshing. The pub is always open and I can see students with the coffee in hand, and the smell coming from the door constantly opening and closing from the commas door. With it finally being spring and the snow is finally melting, the leaves are becoming green and the birds are chirping so loud I can hear it from inside. The crowd of students all walking to early classes, and the traffic of the commuters trying to get a parking spot is something that I see on the daily. 

When I get to the point of the walk where I walk under the bridge, it’s always my favorite, I love this portion of the walk because of the creativity that UNE has put into the campus. But once I get to the forum my morning walk has been completed and my day has started on the right note. The music from the soundscape 3 podcast is “bird-chirping-on-trees”, “bike-chain-peddling”, and “outside-river-with-people-chatting” from Freesounds.org.
