Right outside of Sendik's grocery store in Shorewood, there are baskets of flowers with huge bunches of yellow bouquets. They look so full and so inviting, and without even thinking about it, I started to pat the bunches of yellow flowers. Well there are other colors too, but the yellow ones are my favorites. Immediately I thought, "that is a cool noise!" so I recorded it. I held the microphones in one hand while I put the mini-disc recorder down on the table that the flowers were on. With my other hand, I tried patting the flowers first, but wanted my sound to be more varied, so I began to rub the flowers across the tops of their petals. This caused the pot they were in to rock a little bit, which is the rapping type of noise you hear a little over half way through the clip. Then I went back to patting the tops of the flowers. The result is an almost crunchy sound, like walking on leaves (which I also recorded), but softer. I was happy with the result.
