The audio experience begins with the distinct clacking sound of vehicles making their way across the Lamar Boulevard Bridge. It's a summer day on August 23, 2013, and the flow of traffic is steady. The rumbling engines of cars, trucks, and motorcycles create a rhythmic symphony, a testament to the bustling activity of the city. Amidst the mechanical cacophony, there's an interesting contrast as the listener's perspective is taken underwater. The sounds become muffled, distant, but the vibrations of the vehicles travelling above can still be felt, captured by a contact mic. It's a unique and intriguing layer to the soundscape, adding depth and a sense of place. Back on the surface, the resonance of tires against the hard surface of the bridge reverberates, punctuated by the occasional sharper sound as a vehicle changes lanes or a motorcycle accelerates, drawing attention back to the primary focus of this audio - the constant, flowing traffic on the Lamar Boulevard Bridge
