I'm currently an intern at an art gallery, working as assistant to the Director of Exhibitions. I don't get paid as an intern, but over the summer, they have art-themed day-camps for kids. On the weeks when they need me, I get paid as an assistant teacher.
So today (week 5 of the camp), I took the kids out for recess like I normally do. We have recess in a parking lot about a block and a half from the gallery. Mostly a pretty quiet area, not much noise to speak of besides the sounds of children running and playing.
Suddenly, my head shoots up like a rabbit that detects a predator. I don't hear or see anything out of the ordinary, but I know there's something going on that's playing with one of my senses below the liminal level. I stay alert, listening for whatever distant audio has pricked by ears. As those who study sound will know, bass frequencies don't travel as far as treble frequencies, and for this, I only could audibly hear what I knew to be playing after about 30 seconds- somewhere near, someone was playing Bela Lugosi's Dead. Perhaps in an apartment, or in a passing car two blocks away. I don't know. But my goth senses tingled, and I knew it was playing from the moment the gentle drums began, and I could audibly (though, faintly) hear the treble of Daniel Ash's guitar as he came into the song 30 seconds in.
Discuss:
- Your goth senses tingling.
