Drift Strategery

Pushing my arrogant nature to the forefront, I decided to write my name in capital letters across a section of town to determine where I would walk. After writing my name over a good portion of downtown Milwaukee, I drifted around the area. I originally set a path for myself that touched every part of every letter, but I decided to follow my ear instead when I actually started recording. I still obeyed the perimeters I set out for myself within my written name across the map. I ended up touching every letter, so I feel I fulfilled my obligation to my drift strategy. I like to improvise, so setting a perimeter was about the tightest constraint I could have put on myself without affecting my enjoyment of the drift.

The map on the left is the map I used while I was on my drift. I filled in where I had walked every few blocks or so. If you look closely, you can see where I had marked certain sounds that I liked. By the end of the drift, the map was a bit of a mess.
