FORMAT: AIFFYEAR: 2007

 Using the city as the generation source of noises, I use contact microphones to record and document different sonorous surfaces and objects in the city. The sounds presented are recordings of different, ordinary urban objects – water fountains, pipes, sand, water and glass windows – where specific frequencies have been eliminated or intensified, emphasising those that would otherwise be hardly detectable.

This work offers the listener a different experience of the city and its everyday noises, as an auditory chaotic space, creating sounds that generate a space for greater contemplation.
