The
sonic landscape of a city has its own ecology of "organisms": the
screeching sounds of metal against metal, background hum from power
lines, buzzing neon, passing elevated trains, pneumatic machinery--the
natural sounds of a city landscape that becomes a quotidian experience,
yet unobtrusive and perhaps has a calming effect. (This was mixed to not
interfere with the top layer of attention).
