The recordings included provided an audio archive of the sound experiences in the daily life of a student on this campus. In their descriptions, students refer to the categories of sound sources outlined by Bernie Krause: Biophony - sound sources from living things; Geophony - sound sources from non-living natural world features; and Anthropophony - sound sources generated by humans.

Rob Todd died here in Franklin Park. I recorded sounds with his broken accordion, and placed them here, along these paths. If you come across this walk, I urge you to check in on your friends, see if they're doing ok. Tell them you care about them, and consider making a donation to AFSP.org.
