Memoryscape

Throughout the reading, I was reminded of ImprovEverywhere's MP3 experiment and how I participated in the local mp3 experiment on campus last year. I find it similar to the music trails discussed in the reading, but developing more of an experience both personal and to the people not listening to the mp3. Although I have seen people with guided oral recorded tours but never participated myself. After reading Memoryscape though, I think it would be a great experience. The discussion about noise and sound evolution with the industrial revolution and the modern world was interesting and made me think of all the sounds I hear throughout the day. I also realized it is hard to totally escape modern day noises because even out in the middle of nowhere, airplanes still fly overhead, disrupting the natural sounds.
