<div><font size="2">Hey, Ben! </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2">Thanks for the tip. I've listened to a museum
guide and several TV voice-overs for the Blind. I've heard about site
descriptions of the type you mentioned,<br>and I've long wondered what they are
like. It would be great to get some sample snippets of them, preferably in
written form. This would give me and<br>other interested people some
reference points. In fact, I wouldn't mind writing or translating some
pictures or visual memories this way and to make a<br>special section for blind
visitors. That would be so cool! <br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">Well, Ron, that's not exactly what I'm thinking of.
There is a two volume set called "Indian Soundscapes". It is a gem! It makes me
want to go there and experience those sounds, and it hooked me to this
phenomenon. Ok, what I mean is this:</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2">One track of the first disc is simply bicycles and
cars on a busy city roadway in India. Another is a vegetable market where you
hear the vendors. It sounds like the ballpark vendors here in the US, but as the
saying goes, "ballpark vendors on sterrhoids!" There are tracks at a popular
temple in South India, and two tracks from Kanyakumari, Tamilnadu. If you check
out that set, you'll know what I mean.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">Ben<br><br>----------<br><br></font>
From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>Subject: Travels<br><br>Thanks for explaining, Ben.<br><br>Aha! That "sounds" even easier, providing one is at the site and has a recording gizmo.
<br><br>So it's without voice-overs, I take it, just "background" sound collages.<br><br>Reinhard/Ron<br></div></div>
