This audio recording, made on November 12, 2013, captures the unique soundscape of an elevator ride on the third floor of a university building. The recording, made with an Olympus LS10 in XY configuration, provides a rich, immersive experience of this everyday journey. The sounds of the elevator, from its mechanical hums and whirs to the soft ding signalling arrival at the desired floor, are all clearly captured. The soundscape also includes the faint background noise of the university environment, providing a sense of the bustling campus life outside the confines of the elevator. The recording was made at Leuphana University, adding a specific sense of place and context to the soundscape. Throughout the recording, the XY configuration of the Olympus LS10 aids in creating a three-dimensional auditory experience, making the listener feel as if they are right there, inside the elevator on the third floor.
