教，学，和分享

Soundscape-in-a-can:

I was helping my students design a way to incorporate sound into an art installation celebrating the history of Columbia Heights and U Street, two neighborhoods in Washington, DC. We devised a way of building small speakers into tin cans and wiring them to hidden CD players, which had looped sounds of something in the community (e.g. the metro, a local restaurant), which they had recorded earlier. In one project I got to teach teen agers how to interview, record and edit ambient sounds, and also use a soldering iron for the construction of electronics.

I can also talk your ear off about the state of community radio in the United States.
