- Choose a listening spot and stay silent for one full minute.
- Draw yourself in the center of the page. Add each sound around you based on its direction and distance.
- Use marks to show qualities: jagged for sharp, wavy for soft, repeated dots for rhythms.
- Move to a second spot and compare which sounds followed you and which belonged to the place.
