Seeing Sounds, Hearing Images...

Capturing details from urban locations
Capturing and transforming small, unnoticed sounds from various natural and urban locations
Visualizing fragments of stories of these environments
Time-based media (video, film, photography, audio?)
Observational disciplines (journalism, documentary & archeology)
Networked collaboration strategies
Experiments in improvisational sound

Reviving the hidden sounds and images
in our everyday objects,
in our immediate environment, and
in the air around us
Make live improvisations which
Respond directly to the world around us and the objects close at hand
Connecting sounds and images to a specific location, creating a context

Process-based work
No set conclusions, no predetermined end-points
Relying on our daily experiences to guide us

Creating an audiovisual journey
Online, collaborative soundscape project

Inspire curiosity and
Exploration of one’s own environment

A dreamlike journey in a live improvisation
Where sound and image are interrelated

Found objects used to generate the visions and sounds

Actively participate in the
Free and Open source communities

Instinctively feel the economic and political context of microsound

Taking field recordings from all over the world
Making the distant more local
And the local more distant

Sound exercise:
For the next 29 seconds or 29 minutes…
Observe, Listen, Hear, Experience
the Sounds around you
Only focus on sounds
Find it hard to not use your other senses?
Do some sounds always associate with an image?

An Interface to the Global
Algorithmic Mix
“Pure”, uncomposed sounds
Sharing sound information about one’s environments through divergent channels
Enact a collective soundscape
