The audio recording, "Closing of the Shed Door," begins with the distinct sound of a handle being grasped, its metal components clicking into motion. The listener is then met with the unmistakable noise of a gate being pulled open; the hinges groan slightly under the weight, adding an element of age and character to the scene. As the gate swings fully open, the focus shifts to the main subject, the shed door. The sound of wood scraping against wood fills the air as the large wooden door is drawn open. The door, clearly made of heavy, sturdy wood, creaks loudly in protest, echoing around the space and adding a dramatic texture to the audio. As the door reaches its full arc, the noise subsides momentarily, replaced by a brief period of silence. The listener is left in anticipation, awaiting the next action. It comes in the form of the door being pulled back to its original position, the wood on wood sound returning, albeit in reverse.
