Today we found a binaural recording in our inbox. It was made minutes before the 34-year-old, Long Island, NY Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death this past Friday. The conversations that took place were very interesting. Listen and experience it for yourself.

This audio, like others in the binaural family, is best experienced with headphones.

Take a listen to some of the passing conversations near the movie stand at Wal-Mart.

These cuts are from the Chauncey-Village area on October 26h, 2008, the Saturday of Homecoming that year.

To get the full effect of these recordings, please listen with a pair of headphones.

Walking Passed the Bars (9:03)

I stroll by The Egyptian Cafe, Harry’s Chocolate Shop, Brothers, Where Else?, Jake’s, The Wabash Yacht Club, Hookah!

Walk Through Jakes (3:51)

My setup gets caught on the back of a guy’s shirt. Almost ripped the gear out of my hands.

Sitting on a Bench (5:18)

I sit on a bench, taking in the crisp night air.
