The beginning and the end of a sound. Do we, humans, hear sooner and/or longer than recording devices?
Going to record with a specific idea in mind to, then, become aware of many other sounds.
Record same sounds from different locations for different results similar to when taking photographs from different angles resulting in different images.

Looking at tutorials, I learnt that recording lower than higher was easier to fix when editing.
Neither radio nor music at home opens the consciousness to surrounding sounds and noises.
The reminder to record a few seconds of dead/quiet space before recording interviews doesn’t seem possible in a noisy place such as a mall I visited.
Some English clarification: creaky wooden pier and squeaky metal automatic doors.

Especially rich in contact with individuals. People who are not scared of others approach me to understand what I’m doing. I thought that, nowadays when everyone is looking at screens, my recorder will pass incognito. Maybe the hairy windscreen makes it stand out! Driving away at the level of the heritage grocery store, two 15-years old girls and I waved goodbye at each other after having met at Ioco townsite. They were wondering if they could get closer to the old houses fenced out. I enjoyed their young persons’ curiosity for old buildings.Lots to say about domestic sounds which might be done another time. For the 1st time in my life, I got up my desk to go and listen to the sounds of garbage removal in front of my place.

The recordings I have done during this residency seem to be noisy and busy, full of mixed sounds such as traffic, large crowds, lively people, engines of small planes, Skytrain. Previous recordings done in France happened in quieter spaces where the recorded sounds seemed clearly isolated from their environments.

I remembered another cause and effect moment: boats engines going by and a few minutes later their wakes crashing against the stilts/pilings of the cabins where I stayed for 2 weeks at the North Pacific Museum located in Inverness Passage at the mouth of the Skeena River.
At first, when travelling and recording inside the Skytrain, I only heard one tone with various volumes which increased when accelerating and decreased when slowing down. Then, I discovered between Main and Stadium stations a different sound such as the one of a train rolling down the train tracks like galloping and closer to one of the sounds of the Parisian metro.
