Sound recording by Byrd Williams IV. The first track opens with the ending of a commercial for trolls toys and then picks up with a recorded lecture with a woman speaking. She is discussing artists and the circle of influence that is the focus of this class session. She also speaks about an exhibit students had the chance to see. There is white noise throughout the recording and also background noises like coughing. The recording becomes distorted around the 11:30 mark and continues to be wobbly until the end of the first track. During the distortion the content switches to what sounds like a show on television and the lesson is cut off.

It breaks at the 4:15 mark on track two and returns to the woman's lecture, this time focused on John Sloan.
