Tumbling along



While I was walking over by the Bradley Center I all of a sudden heard a sound coming up from behind me. It was interesting. It had a noisy sound with higher pitches and crunchy sounds, and was inconsistent in its pattern.I looked behind me to see an empty bag of chips tumbling across the ground. The noise was noticeable and ear catching. I saw that it was about 25 ft behind me and coming right towards me.I I took my microphones and held them about 2ft apart alt recorded the sound as I let the empty bag blow by.I tried to follow it a few feet more to get a longer recording of this, but it was hard to keep up with the bag without catching the sounds of myself walking along and the mics jostling around. However, a segment that I captured portrays well the sound of the chips as they move from one side of me to the other. To hear the sound of the chips you can click on the picture.
