Sound of Nostalgia by Ashley Sherman

The title image is looking through a kaleidoscope at the peach and apple trees that I had when growing up. The audio recording includes sounds of nature, which has always been important to me and my family; sewing, a common activity I would do with my grandma; the music of John Denver, which my parents played constantly when I was a child; my brother playing the piano; and, of course, my dogs. Some of these sounds are recordings from the past; the ones of my dogs barking and my brother playing piano are from younger years when we both lived at home and could mess around together. My goal with this soundscape was to present what is nostalgic to me and get people thinking about what their childhood might sound like.
