Then, on a day of your choosing within the next two weeks, walk in a downtown or publicly active area for 30 minutes or more, noting sounds that you hear, both traditionally musical and not. You should include everything: voices, street musicians, traffic, construction, and list these events in the order in which you notice them. If you wish, you may use a recording device to help you remember. Avoid speaking during this exercise, even if you go with someone. You are to use only your ears, with some help from your vision. You may also choose to go to stores where music is playing, or to hear music at the Cultural Center, or in Millennium Park; if you include these venues also be sure to note other sounds that occur with the music, and to frame the music by the sounds you hear entering and leaving it. Or you may choose not to hear music deliberately, but just to hear the sounds around you as you walk. (Remember that weather considerations figure in here.) Note also that 3/8 is International Womens Day, and there may be protests or rallies to go to sounds and music from these will also qualify.
