From Lake Park, I walked down Locust Street where the traffic is considerably heavier. I found that one of the houses had some lovely wind chimes. They were larger sou the sounds they made were deeper. As I previously stated, the traffic on Locust was heavy. So it was difficult to find a length of time where the sound of the chimes went unobstructed by a bus or large truck.
But after a certain point, when the wind was just right and no large vehicle passed, I was able to get a few decent notes from the chimes in the back porch of a yard. This is my favorite recording as I think it was a culmination of the entire soundwalk. It combines nature, accidental art and the urban setting all in one recording with the natural serenade of the chimes controlled only by the wind, the sound of a bird cawing in the background, the dripping of the melting snow and the gentle shush of the cars in the vicinity. See what I mean here.
