A binaural field recording, from the Queens Museum to my apartment in Harlem via the MTA. It took about about 81 minutes from door to door. It was raining, I had an umbrella. The museum is located in the middle of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, site of both New York World’s Fairs. As you will hear it is also in near LaGuardia Airport. The trip is a fifteen minute walk to the 7 Train, to 42nd Street-Times Square where I transfer to the Uptown 1 Train, to 125th-Harlem. I stopped at a Bodega for a couple things. I did not record the walk up to the fifth floor.

A binaural field recording of walking in Central Park after a snow storm. I start at the edge of the park, so there is some traffic noise. Once I enter the park there are horses, families playing, people talking and eventually me walking in Strawberry Fields covered in 8 inches of snow. It was a windy day, so there is some wind noise. No introduction, about 20 minutes.
