For this sound piece I recorded the sound of water running in the sink, myself eating crackers, drinking water, and pouring water into a cup. I liked the sound of the crackers crunching and I looped them over and over as if I were eating a whole box of crackers. The crackers made me thirsty so the rest of my project was associated with water and the fulfillment of thirst.
There is something about that crunching sound that is really satisfying...I can't quite put my finger on it...but I like it. I appreciate how that crunching sound becomes sort of like the rhythm on which the other sounds sit. The way the pouring, gulping, and water running sounds filter in slowly and then linger after the crunching stops give this piece a narrative feel.
