My soundscape is comprised of the first thing I hear when I wake up, which is a mix of traffic and birds chirping, followed by an overwhelming recording of my three classes’ lecture material, and ending with the sound of my coffee machine.

My soundscape is centered around a conversation between my mother and my sister, on their genetic muscular dystrophy, which we know will cause their premature deaths. The conversation took place in a hotel room in Seattle, where I met them… Continue Reading →
This audio is from outside my balcony where you get an amazing view and watch as the cars go by. I often spend each night with my roommate watching the sun set and the people go by. You can here… Continue Reading →
