Been working hard on the audio project for the Durham Neighborhood College presentation. I have all the audio and put together a rough cut which I'm pretty happy with. It still needs to be tightened up but the basic structure is set.
This is the short version, for the class presentation. It's missing some recordings that I really liked, because we were trying to keep it short and the team voted on the ones to include. We're also on the schedule to do the project as a program on Durham Noise Network, WXDU's audio documentary show, on April 12. Which I'm a little concerned about: people tend to spend 30-45 seconds answering the question, and so 9 interviews produced about 6 minutes of audio. That's perfect for a class presentation, but I'm also committed to a 30 minute radio show in a couple of weeks. If I can get the rest of the team to go to the station and we talk for 8-10 minutes to introduce it (which is more time than I'd like, 10 minutes is longer than you'd think when you're talking live on the air), then I'm still going to have to more than triple the amount of audio I have now.
Our friend David invited us to a party this weekend where there will be tons of Durham people. I'll take the recorder and try to get as many of them as I can. I might be able to fill the whole half hour right there.
