I misplaced my mic for a few days while rearranging the apartment a bit for the Fall. As I remain experimental with the direction of this podcast, lately I've been drawn to capturing the acoustics of a ride on the subway. Briefly, you could hear those nasty ass coughs. I rarely take the iron horse these days, but I scheduled an impromptu Apple Genius Bar appointment in Grand Central and took off mid-day. Pressed play while speed walking to the 7-train and decided not to hop the turnstile to keep it player on wax. In reality, I wanted to capture OMNY's payment sound for the episode. Every sonic detail is accredited and connected. It's all about creating a story out of thin air.
