I chose Ferrington’s article because I could identify with it now, living in Milwaukee. I used to live in the country and next to a highway so I always heard cars. But when I moved here it was a different experience and the way Ferrigton said it in the start of his article I could identify it. I also noted that I could also hear a lot of nature sounds from high above, early in the morning, on a Sunday. That is why I chose this article.
The main points of this article is that even if you are in a city you can still hear a lot of nature sounds. Especially if you live high up. It is true that you can hear a lot more cars and traffic noises but if one really listens you can hear a lot more. I felt that that was the major point in his article that even if you live in a city you can hear a lot, if you just listen.
I feel that this is relevant because as an artist I need to listen to not only the obvious sounds, but also the subtle ones too. I also need to listen to the world around me and hear what it has to say. That is what I took away from this article.
