All week long we've been playing you this sound, and asking you to guess what exactly it is and where exactly in the Bay Area we recorded it.
This auditory guessing game is part of our new project, Audiograph, a crowd-sourced collaborative radio project mapping the sonic signature of each of the Bay Area’s nine counties. By using the sounds of voices, nature, industry, and music, Audiograph tells the story of where you live, and the people who live there with you. Every Thursday, we reveal the origins of that week's sound on Crosscurrents, and here in weekly blog posts. Listen above and read on for the answer...
RYAN BOATRIGHT: It's not like driving a car on the road. Boats don't have brakes... and we're not firmly connected to this water, we're just floating through it. We kind of go where the wind and the water pushes us.
Congratulations to Patrick Piazza, who guessed the right answer. He’s now the proud owner of a brand new Crosscurrents t-shirt! And thank you to the SF Bay Ferry for providing passes to 10 lucky callers who also had the correct answer. We'll have a new sound for you to guess, and another chance to win next week.
In the meantime, is there a sound from your life that should be featured on Audiograph? Call at 415-264-7106 and tell us about the sound of where you live.
