	<description><![CDATA[As a member of the Center Camp Cafe Sound Team, I have a great appreciation of sound and the effects of sound at BM.<br />
I arrived early and did not leave until several days after the event. ... After the gates open, probably starting Tuesday night, the background levels increase every night, with the peak happening Friday night, which is the BIG party night, not Saturday after the burn, as most would suspect. Then the levels fall very quickly.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[My first year at BM in 2008 I heard, as many others no doubt, the most haunting and beautiful chant at daybreak. Don't know the language, Mideastern in origin perhaps, but it didn't matter because it was peaceful. It was perhaps a little over the top to use a loudspeaker, but at the moment of silence, echos of the chant continued to reverberate in my head, gently dissipating till I fell asleep. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[sound is perhaps the least documented aspect of Burning Man so thank you so much for this! i agree that the ubiquitous oontz is something you try to escape from but for me the collective roar of different sound camps blasting away from a distance is my most memorable playa sound. one night around 5 AM as i headed back to camp i stood on the deep playa between 10:00 and 2:00 and recorded all the oontz blending in together. i felt like i was in complete hell but have loved that confusing bizarre sound ever since.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Just AMAZING, thank-you for the recordings.<br />
The Temple burn and sound wave is wonderfuly sublime.<br />
That is my favorite time-when the Temple burns.<br />
Everyone is respectful and all the agro stuff is gone.<br />
Truly is an emotional experience.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Pretty cool soundscapes. You should have included what the desert sounds like when Burning Man isn't there, 50 weeks of the year, when it's almost returned back to its "natural" environment.<br />
<br />
Get to know really more about Burning Man, its origins, its hidden history, its evolution from an underground gathering to the multi-million dollar business it has now become. DUST & ILLUSIONS, a documentary that explores 30 years of history, and asks the hard questions.<br />

	<description><![CDATA[The sound camps, as they are called, are placed on the open ends of the giant 'C' that forms Black Rock City and they project out onto the open playa.  Good for the city -- it is relatively quiet once you are a couple blocks from the sound camps -- but bad if you're seeking silence on the playa's wide expanse.  Last year I headed out from the Temple to Raygun Gothic Rocketship  http://www.mccullagh.org/photo/1ds3-3/raygun-gothic-rocketship on foot in the dark.  About halfway there the wind picked up and the dust obscured everything.  It wasn't high -- I could still see stars overhead -- but the lights I was using to navigate by had all vanished.  I stood still a moment wondering if it was going to be a while before I made it back to civilization, the realized I could hear the 10:00 sound camps.  Following them, I could make it back to charted territory.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA['Nowhere' is as familiar a soundscape as anywhere in terms of an urban environment--sans walls. Layers upon layers of sound that leads us to the assumption on how "cities" are such a physical construct that you can even hear them in the desolate environment of a desert. <br />
<br />
You can make something in the vastness of nothing that is completely artificial; and at the same time hear it by opening your window and listening, imagining how much more we have muffled just to make it bearable. <br />
<br />
The only difference is how much of the natural environment was affected to arrive at the same auditory execution. In most cases, a great deal. <br />
