In this recording, we are taken on an auditory journey through an old house in London, Ontario, on a brisk November day in 1811. The first sounds we perceive are the crunching footsteps of someone walking, each step distinct on the wooden staircase. The creaking and groaning of the old wooden stairs speak of the years they've witnessed, each echo telling a tale of its own. Suddenly, the leisurely pace accelerates into a swift run. The hurried footfalls reverberate through the quiet house, each thud and thump resonating with a sense of urgency. The quickened pulse of the steps elicits images of someone rushing up and down the stairs, their footfalls punctuating the otherwise silent atmosphere. The recording oscillates between these two paces, the tranquility of a slow walk and the frenzy of a run, creating an intriguing auditory contrast. It is as if the listener is invited to explore the house, its history, and its inhabitants
