Welcome to my blog! The following posts are sounds that I, Max Larsen, recorded using two stereo microphones at various locations along Capitol Drive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To listen to the audio clips, click on the "Play Clip" link next to the map. To view the maps in larger detail, click on the image itself to see exactly where the sound was captured from. A description of how the microphones were positioned as well as the time and date of the recording is given with each post. Enjoy!
