I finished rehearsal tonight, and as I was waiting to be picked up, I headed towards the Minto Centre to stand out of the cold. As I drew closer, a shrieking noise somewhat like a fire alarm seemed to be being emmitted from inside the building. Once inside, I realised that the wind was blowing through the small crack between the doors and because it was late, and there were no bodies to obstruct it, the sound was loud and undisturbed.
By moving the door in either way by slight increments the pitch changed and would over lap the one before it. Closing my eyes, I realised the sound was exactly that of a humpback whale chorus. Each pitch reverberrated off the other and by moving the door I was in effect, creating my own underwater song. It was fascinating how realistic it sounded - the few people who were nearby kept noticing the unique sounds and looking/coming over to see what was making the melancholic, sea animal like cries.

Hi Larissa,
Your observations are very interesting! Now, I'll give you the opportunity to add other visual material to dress up your blog assignment. Do this ASAP
and I will grade it later tomorrow once your additions have been made.
