An Auditory Vegetarian Insight to Midtown's Food District
Ideas
- Michael's Deli & Catering: Describe Falafel on Pita (with Tzatziki, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato and onion)
- Dreamer's Coffee: simple breakfast of scrambled egg and pepperjack cheese on an everything bagel and a caramel latte with soy milk.
- Wedge - A Cheese Shop: Cheese plate with glass of wine
- Sup: Black Bean and Green Chiles Soup with a cranberry salad (gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, almonds, mixed greens and a white balsamic vinigarette) and a small oatmeal raisin house cookie.
- Midtown Eats: Truffle Mac & Cheese and Hummus and Baby Ghanoush as an appetizer, served with Pita.
• Tzatziki is a Greek sauce made of strained yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil and lemon juice, dill, mint, or parsley. Served cold.
• Ghanoush is a Levantine dish of eggplant mashed with a mix of olive oil and various seasoning.
Need to write scripts, try a couple more dishes and get in the sound booth.
Nat sound from each restaurant?

Video Live Performance Assignment
We approached this assignment in a humorous way. One could see this performance as a spoof on the scene in "Forgetting Sara Marshall" or as something completely independent. We went in with the idea that one person would do the complete opposite of everything the yoga teacher was saying. I do yoga frequently and this sort of thing definitely happens. It's always confusing, though, because a yoga studio isn't somewhere you generally giggle. We wanted to exaggerate it for entertainment purposes. We brought the spray bottle, yoga mat, dressed the part and played music to enhance the room and make it seem like a yoga studio.

Ideas for Audio Tour
Midtown slogan: "This is city life"
** = favorite ideas
1) Diversity in a block of Midtown - humorous maybe, go from the Wild Orchid to a yoga/wellness studio. Mostly my voice with sound effects.
**2) An auditory experience of taste, walking to several restaurants in a block or two of midtown and describing the place and what I order and what it tastes like in great detail. You'd walk to the restaurants and probably be really hungry by the end of the tour. This could almost serve as advertisement. Really detail oriented, what's the food look like? The vibe of the restaurant? My view, as a vegetarian foodie?
** 3) Five minutes in the life of someone walking around in Midtown, what types of things do you see or smell or witness...you'll probably experience it similarly to the audio description when you're walking the streets yourself. I like this idea because it's something that at times can be humorous (you see a woman dressed in a furry orange hat and a red mini skirt with combat boots) or something really upsetting (a homeless man wandering around, maybe asking for spare change). I think taking someone through the emotions one could experience when they really look at the scene and the details around them could be very interesting.
I think it would be really cool to repeat every so often "this is midtown, this is city life" or vice versa on order (something I could have done in my coffee tryptic).

Cityscape Through Coffee
Triptych time!
Cityscape Through Coffee is about discovering a city through its coffee shops. The warm feeling, the broken conversations and the small escape are all things to notice and invite while viewing the triptych. The clips, and photos, were shot in Reno and San Francisco. By going to these two radically different cities - nothing changed. Coffee, its allure and the attitude it has, is the same everywhere. Overall, this project was about celebrating the things I love - simple and questioning how much time is spent in coffee shops. The shots moving and repeating try to explore and convey time.
The music was street music in San Francisco - it gets louder because I am walking closer to it. All the coffee shop type sounds are collected from probably 8 coffee shops in both cities.
Each piece is a different length so the viewer does not have the same visual or auditory experience each time its watched.
