A brief radiator

Chicago, Illinois

January 2006

1m 59s

This old radiator was one of the many great parts about my Humboldt Park apartment in Chicago. The hiss, tick, clunk and sputter always put me at ease, and reminded me of the house I grew up in, which also had the holy trinity of wood floors, old radiators, and robust enameled-iron sinks. 

This is two short recordings joined together, at around the halfway mark, when I had to switch batteries in the MiniDisc recorder I'd borrowed.
