I’ve decided to take a different approach with the Chicago audio map. While I like the ideal of recording whole streets, all those recordings began sounding the same, with cars at the beginning and end of blocks, various other doppler effects, the whup-whup of walking for 3-4 minutes. So I’m sitting down and recording one still minute or so of the audio at places in which I find myself. I think it well lead to some more interesting distinctions between the recordings.
I’m kicking off this “still” set with a street festival in Roscoe Village.

Sounds like Number Nine to me.
It is in fact, Number Nine playing. It was a nice afternoon at an old-fashioned block party. Not a street festival with admission and a huge stage, but a fairly informal, block-the-street-with-your-garbage-cans and serve potato-salad kind of thing.
