Sound recording experience

Looking for sounds was a surprisingly fun experience. Going into the project, I thought it would be a serious struggle to find noises that we thought we unique enough to capture. It turned out to be fun because everything seemed to make its own sound that was completely different.
While we were recording and looking over sounds afterwards, we talked about different things that each sound reminded us of. The sound we captured of hitting shells against a cement pillar sounded surprisingly wet, almost as if we were slapping water instead of a hard surface.
We also found sounds that I ended up really loving. I really enjoyed the ambiance we captured in the cafe of a bookstore. Our group also pointed out how in some of our bookstore recordings we could faintly hear the music that was playing over the speakers. It sounded pretty freaky through the headphones while we recorded.
Overall, it was really fun to experiment and listen more closely to sounds that I normally wouldn't have thought about.
