<a href="http://www.wildcrickets.org/">http://www.wildcrickets.org/</a><br />
<br />
A few interesting points relating to when and why crickets sing:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Good singing is in inheritable trait that is passed on.</li>
<li>Crickets need plenty of food when young to become the good singer that they are genetically predisposed to be.</li>
<li>Small male crickets need to sing to be able to mate, whereas large males mate more if they don't sing. </li>
</ul>

<br />
A sound walk with crickets to explore the city.<br />
<br />
This session takes as its starting point a sonic trend which began in China over 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty – that of keeping crickets for their song. While mainly kept in the home or garden, the crickets were also carried around in small gourds, concealed in clothes and worn like a portable music player. It is thought that the practice, started by the royal family, began in order to bring company and comfort to the listener. The trend quickly caught on and became a popular pastime practiced widely in society, and it continues to this day.<br />
<br />
For this Points of Listening session we will be staging a digital re-enactment of this trend. Participants are invited to experience and contemplate the act of carrying this sound through the immediate environs of Elephant and Castle, to explore an alternative to our present day sonic trend of headphones and mobile devices that are so popular in cities today. Through this public form of sounding and listening, we can experience not only the cricket song as a mobile music, but also how we relate to the spaces around us. How do we hear the city, ourselves within in and how are we ourselves heard? Can this technique make us think differently about our position and relationship to the spaces we move through, and the people that we pass? In this way, this PoL will use the cricket song as both a measure and a lens through which to explore our location – to sound out our surroundings, hear ourselves appear and disappear in the sea of noise, and explore our city in new ways.<br />
<br />
Part of the evening will be spent in the studio and for the other part we will be outside on a sound walk, carrying recordings of crickets through the local area. Bring a warm coat.<br />
<br />

In preparation for my new sound work <i>Pillars</i> at <i>Profound Sound</i> Festival tomorrow in Folkestone, I have been testing out my composition in a variety of different tubes - a slide, a cardboard tube and a sawn off lamp-post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The work is due to be installed inside a metal pipe, in Folkestone's <i>Payers Park </i>- which is an artwork in itself, having been designed by <a href="http://www.muf.co.uk/portfolio/payers-park-current" target="_blank">Architecture + Art group MUF</a> for the <a href="http://www.folkestonetriennial.org.uk/" target="_blank">Folkestone Triennial</a>. The metal pipe is half buried in the ground, with ends that protrude so that you can speak, shout, sing, make noise through it. It makes good use of the slope that the park is built into and it actively encourages SOUND in this play space. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJcybYRAX9mQ2f2oTwjqGcEFdBqieBKq5xxB6CX7_7yVpolpQHzJGEQGy1y3C5i9gDISNfmkW1ViIW62Jlp5S0U58dIrhmTlljFU16LNLjrc_0r6k0hgVRuJ6iz-uUxUBg_juVWtEk-0X/s1600/IMG_20160212_133307913.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqJcybYRAX9mQ2f2oTwjqGcEFdBqieBKq5xxB6CX7_7yVpolpQHzJGEQGy1y3C5i9gDISNfmkW1ViIW62Jlp5S0U58dIrhmTlljFU16LNLjrc_0r6k0hgVRuJ6iz-uUxUBg_juVWtEk-0X/s400/IMG_20160212_133307913.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
But also, the pipe makes the perfect site for this sound work, which is a performance of musical pillars being played. In India there are numerous temples designed with musical pillars as their main supports, these pillars are made of granite (a naturally resonant material) and are shaped and positioned to play exact musical notes, when tapped (tapped like you would when playing a piano). These structures are effectively large musical instruments, but to the eye appear as usual, highly decorative, stone temples.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of my pipe tests today, the slide was good, it was good to be in it and listen in there, the sound had that metallic quality to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sawn off lamp post was a weaker version of these two ... not so great.. It was too short to do much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cardboard pipe was my favourite. It gave great resonance and a slight muffle, it made listening feel like it was from far far away. </div>

<br />
<b>My Recordings:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
#1 Early morning life in Hampi.<br />
Sounds: sweeping, clanking dishes, spitting, murmurs, engine rumbles and roars, children's voices, a rare calm and stillness for me in India.<br />
<br />
#2 Chanting in a Hindu temple.<br />
Sounds: Voice, hands, feet, bells, doors, musical rhythms, belief & devotion.<br />
<br />
#3 On a mountain top.<br />
Sounds: tinny distant motorbike engines, flapping flags, chanting, birds, beeps, voices, claps, the ear-view of a sacred mountain top.<br />
<br />
#4 Musical columns being played.<br />
Sounds: varying tones, skin, resonance, stone, slapping, tapping, popping, an old rain like music.<br />
<br />
#5 A busy road.<br />
Sounds: Beeps, horns, blasts, engines, voices, squeals and shrieks of brakes, alarms, a classic India road side soundscape.<br />
<br />
#6 Night train.<br />
Sounds: voices, voices, voices repeating, coffee, chai walla, metal rumbles, chugs and rattles of engines, carriages, wheels on tracks, distant long horns, muffled voices, a good nights sleep on a top bunk.<br />
<br />
#7 Crows, early morning.<br />
Sounds: Crows cawing, kraaing, cawing, cawing and cawing, a terrifying but daily spectacle of a large Hitchcock style gathering of crows.<br />
<br />
#8 Mumbai from high up.<br />
Sounds: clatering of pots and pans, engines roaring, murmuring, speech, pigeons cooing, passing beeps and paps, air con whirring, the gentle sounds of a backstreet in a city. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Recordings I missed:</b><br />
<br />
#1 Women's jewellery<br />
Sounds: A delicate but strong sound <i>cloud</i> of high pitched jingling and rattling of silver anklets and clattering of glass bracelets worn by big groups of women and girls walking past me in Hampi.<br />
<br />
<br />
#2 An Elephant passing<br />
Sounds: a rhythmic jingle of chains, matching each short step of this elephant that passed me. It was sadly reminiscent of the sound of anklets worn by Indian women, but this ankle jewellery was worn to stop the animal escaping at speed from its labour camp, which it was doing for a few seconds as it tromped past us in Wayanad.<br />

19-22 Nov 2015<br />
<i><br /></i>
I had the pleasure of visiting Locus Sonus and the Mobile Audio Fest in Aix-en-Provence last week, visiting from CRiSAP at London College of Communication due to some excellent Erasmus + training funding.<br />
<br />
<i>"Mobile Audio Fest is a 4 day event exploring the relationships between mobility and (new) forms of listening and sound-making. Conceived as a series of “rendezvous” in Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, Mobile Audio Fest presents 15 projects by international artists in which mobility plays a central part. The program includes performances, installations, apps, soundwalks, audiowalks, workshops and talks."</i><br />

Here are a few of my quick tweets as I visited some of the art works:<br />

<i><br /></i><b>About Locus Sonus:</b><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Locus Sonus audio in art, is a research group whose main aim is to explore the, ever evolving, relationship between sound, place and usage. In an Art/Science tradition our research involves experimentation with emerging audio technologies particularly those relating to sound transmission, mobilization or spatialisation. Maintained by the art schools of Aix en Provence and Bourges, Locus Sonus is concerned with practice driven research and transdisciplinary approaches to the arts of sound."</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. a Route</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The beginnings of a linear section of the sound work. Start and end point shown below. This mapped route will make up the first part, a specific sound journey, of my sound work.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

3. Free zones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Part two of the sound work - the addition of a free area that can be explored without any specific route needed (shown to the left of park). The cycling reality of this showed that the organisation of the roads lead to uninspired cycling exploration though.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. A better Free zone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the right of the park, this area allows free routeless riding, without the rigid structure that the area to the left of the park offered. Here the cycling is more interesting, the roads winding, the architecture and function of the area more varied and in flux which gives a more appropriate area for routeless exploration in relation to the themes of my work. </div>

<br />
I've been annotating my maps as I create them, documenting the slow learning process of creating sounds, mapping sounds, and then test riding them.<br />
<br />
It has been incredibly interesting and often unexpected to learn how the sounds are affected by a number of factors, despite anticipation and planning for these:<br />
- affected by the place<br />
- affected by the listening experience of riding,<br />
- affected by the quality of the sound outdoors<br />
- affected by the connotations of hearing those sounds in those spaces.<br />
- measuring up against my ideas and intent for the work.<br />

Together with 8 other artists and groups I learnt how to use the sonic bikes from a compositional perspective in order to be able to create my own sound work for the Summer Pedalling Games in September. We learnt about the mapping software, the capabilities of the mapper when working with the Raspberry Pi's and the practicalities of the composition on a musical bike out and about in the streets.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Mapping tool.</div>
<div>
Is brilliant. You draw shapes over a map where you want sounds to be heard. It all feels very simple and powerful. You suddenly have the ability to create new soundscapes on any street anywhere, laying over new sound spaces with a simple shape drawing tool.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its not that simply though, and its easy to screw things up. You name the shapes exactly as you name your sound files, sound files must be saved and named in certain ways and of a certain size and length. Get any bit wrong and your bike might not boot up, or you wont hear your file, or in my case you get played noise at, very loudly instead of hearing your sounds. In short I ran from laptop to bike wielding a tiny usb stick until I get it right. And that was most of my Sunday morning.<br />
<br />

<div>
Composing.</div>
<div>
Kaffe made us ride, sound free, around the park and nearby street to first get an idea of how long the streets are in cycle time, what the acoustics are, how easy it is to cycle and really to pay attention to anything else in these spaces that we might not have spotted on foot. How incredibly useful. My small test street that I had been focusing on in preparation, suddenly became just a 12second ride. So although you can map sound to things, points, objects, it's more appropriate to think of locations in a broader sense - spaces and streets.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My idea.</div>
<div>
My proposal was to sound out the built environment, using the bike as the 'Bicrophone', amplifying the streets and the spaces around the bikes as it moved. I wanted to focus on how the built environment sounds, the bricks, the windows, the doors, the railings, shutters, hubcaps, lampposts, rather than the sound of inhabitation and social activation of these spaces (designated use). I had in mind Harbour performances, where boats and vehicles use engines, whistles and bells to create a spatial performance, but was converting this to a city symphony in my mind, where people opened and closed windows, rattled shutters and slammed doors. While I also had in mind the silent and often unseen infrastructure of our urban spaces - the hubcaps that give sign to underground tunnels, cables, pipes and utilities, the lampposts that we reply on for lighting but look past, overhead electrical cables etc - e.g all the signs of planning and purpose for the space that we look and listen past. Plus deconstruction, building in the local area being demolished, road works and dismantling. I wanted to create this work with field recordings and let the layout of the items on the street create the composition.<br />
<br />
However, learning and testing how the system actually works has changed things slightly, and so my work will take a slightly different course now... let the composition begin!</div>

<b>Public sound art work - UK</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<i>Anthem</i>: a public sound art work, Luton, UK<br />
<b><br /></b>
Central Bedfordshire Council have commissioned an audio work as a public art work for Woodside Link Road. Excellent news.<br />
<br />
Visual artist Bettina Furnée and sound artist Marcus Leadley are creating the work. local residents are asked to submit sounds that 'best represent the area', Leadley will then create a composition from this and Furnée will create a visual sound wave along the sides of the road.<br />
<br />
<i>"Every place is alive with sounds: the sounds of animals and birds, the wind in the trees or familiar sounds such as church bells and traffic sounds. Some are mundane and some are extraordinary. Some we hold dear and some we wish would go away! While we always hear sound we often fail to really listen. The Woodside Link public art project celebrates both sound and image, drawing the two together in a rich audio-visual mapping of the surrounding Houghton Regis and Luton area. We are asking people to actively listen out and record their favourite sounds and contribute them to the project."</i><br />
<br />
<div>
A nice idea, and brilliant to read about public sound art, especially one that involves others in its creation. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, the sound is available as a download or CD which does not make it easy to access. The likelihood is that most people will see this work and not hear it. If this sound was transmitted by a radio, just locally to cover the road, drivers would be able to tune in and listen much more easily. </div>

<b><u>Audio James Turrell - AUS</u></b><br />
<br />
<i>Climata</i>: Audio work created for and in a James Turell light sculpture, National Gallery Australia.<br />
<br />
Composer and sound artist Robert Curgenve has made a 'drone music' style sound works to be heard inside a Turrell light sculpture. He used recordings from 15 of Turrell's light sculptures around the world.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Curgenven's Climata is a recording project which recharts the divisions of space as "heard" within James Turrell's Skyspaces" .</i><i>"If James Turrell employs light to shape space, Curgenven is interested in exploring the manner in which the auditory can manipulate our perception of space and our perception of the shape of time. He has explored this equally within architectural spaces as well as in remote open spaces in outback Australia."</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
An interesting pairing of audio and visual works that sound as if they will be complimentary to the experiencing of each work. Something I would very much like to visit.<br />
<br />
Review: <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/robert-curgenven-climata-in-skyspace-at-the-national-gallery-of-australia-20150806-gismtw.html">http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/art-and-design/robert-curgenven-climata-in-skyspace-at-the-national-gallery-of-australia-20150806-gismtw.html</a><br />
<br />
Perhaps the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the UK will commission the works to show in their Turrell light sculpture 'Deer Shelter SkySpace': <a href="http://www.ysp.co.uk/whats-on/open-air/james-turrell-deer-shelter-skyspace">http://www.ysp.co.uk/whats-on/open-air/james-turrell-deer-shelter-skyspace</a><br />

I'm pleased to be exhibiting a travelling sound installation for the next Late event at the V&A. The event's theme is based upon the Alexander McQueen exhibition, Spectacle of the Species, and I'm collaborating with a fashion designer Quoi Alexander.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The sound work will consist of a cricket soundscape, worn by the models and carries through the galleries. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Inspired by iPod culture for mobile music, this work explores an earlier form of sonic body adornment - a fashion trend from 1000years ago of concealing crickets in clothing for their song.</div>

<b>March’s Friday Late celebrates the V&A’s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition. </b><br />
<i>18.30 - 22.00 | #FridayLate</i><br />
From cocoons in gestation to birds in flight, the natural world was fashion designer Alexander McQueen’s most prominent source of inspiration. Join us for an evening of skeletal armoury, skins, scales and crystals as we explore the natural elements that were intrinsic to McQueen’s vision.<br />

I have created two 'Whispering Walls' that will share ideas about the the life and actions of the man behind the paintings using speakers hidden behind the images. One wall addresses his his careers as a diplomat, the other, his travels across the world.<br />
<br />
Each wall visually references ideas of Phychogeography using imagery of Rubens paintings to prompt a new understanding. While sonically the walls explore field recordings of place and space aswell as concrete poetry style dialogue.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Invited by <a href="http://www.crisap.org/">CRiSAP,</a> I and other graduates from the <a href="http://www.arts.ac.uk/lcc/courses/postgraduate/ma-sound-arts/">Sound Arts MA </a>at London College of Communication, plus current PhD students, performed various fluxus event scores at the <a href="http://whitecube.com/exhibitions/christian_marclay_bermondsey_2015/">White Cube gallery as a part of the Christian Marclay exhibition.</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A little bit about the exhibition first:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The exhibition uses sound and image to show and encourage us to make music from anything. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Marclay presents us with a video installation where he walks the streets of east London tapping, kicking and rolling bottles, glasses and cans. The video montage presents a loose composition that sonifies the alcoholic left overs of the east London night life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An immersive animation projects onomatopoeias dancing around a room, these cartoon cut outs of POP! Bang, Shhhhhh, pooooow form a dynamic 3D score around you. As you read along in your head you can hear the performance. For example, the bobbing of water along a tideline created by 'blobs', the popping of bubbles up the screens shown by circular 'PoP's and the sheets of grey rain running in diagonal strips of 'SSSSHhhhhhhhhhh' relentlessly pouring down.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The glasses mentioned in the video installation were collected by Marclay and now adorn a performance space in the gallery. This room hosts daily performances by sounds and arts practitioners who explore these themes. The performances are recorded and cut into a vinyl in the gallery by the Vinyl Factory Press, the cover is even screen printed in the gallery too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The invitation to perform fluxus events scores is centred around these glasses and the water theme that runs through the show.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I chose to work with George Brechts Drip Music and Bob Lens's #252.</div>

This performance lasted just under an hour and consisted of me mainly just moving drips back and forth ... in a totally absorbed state. I would have happily performed it for longer if I hadn't ran out of water. </div>

For Duvet Days Lisa is inviting you to join in blowing bubbles, responding to the activity on the website.<br /><br />The bubble cam was set up 10 years ago by a couple called Andie and Mike. People from all over the world visit the site to 'blow bubbles'. By using this online trigger, Lisa hopes to offer you an excuse to enjoy these type of games, to be interrupted by the fun of pointless play.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism</b> <i>2014, post graduate research event, CRiSAP, London</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>www.crisap.org</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">25 international presentations by artists, musicians and academics on the four topics, specifically addressing the question, 'What in the historical present constitutes an activist life in sound?'</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am slightly biased having organized this event with CRiSAP but could not help but be blown away by the content. Here are some of the small specifics that stand out for me a i dashed in and out of the theatre. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Maggie Nichols describing how to break the mould of expected expression and 'normality' (while breaking out into free vocal expressions mid with through sentences) but retaining just enough to be able to say 'no officer, i'm fine thank you'.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Tara Rodgers stating a case for new modes of communication and content sharing that credits the makers. She disagrees with free online content of art works and ideas as this is not a sustainable practice, nor does it value the work created. So time to think of a new way to create online groups and share ideas.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Alison Balance's performance: sixty five, sixty four, sixty three .... we are the vessles for the stories. A perforamtive reminder of our physical and behavioural responsibitliy as story tellers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Anna Raimondo's Encouragements. Using a hands free mobile phone to declare encouragments to passers by, with the using the smallest of excuses - the white cable headphones that attach to a mobile phone - retaining her 'sanity' in these public spaces.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Philip Cornett's interviews with LGBT community in Cambridge, as interviewed by young LGBT group members. Utterly shocking accounts of what has, and undoubtably still is happaning.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Invasorix, a Mexican group overflowing with SGFA energy and passion that feel similar to the UK group Gaggle.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- and many more...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24.0000591278076px;">Josephine Green i</span>dentifying that we are in the midst of a change in world views - 1) from the <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">hierarchical</span> Scientific, Rational & Industrial to what could be a creative, collaborative decentralised heterachy that is more befitting to the unique qualities of being human. 2) from the meta world view of scarcity to one of abundance, when production has finally outstripped consumption. She feels that we are at a point of conflict as we try to practice a new world view from within the rules of the past. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">'Huyghe works across media to create situations, cutting through time and boundaries, highlighting concepts of separation.' </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The exhibition includes a large stone sculpture of a figure sat on rocks, damaged, headless it grows moss and is presented on its back under a low slung halogen strip light; A number of glass tanks holding dark murky water, strange fish and weeds all displayed on plinths with the water level at eye level; and video 'the human mask' which follows a small girl, who is actually a monkey with a mask and wig on, waiting in, and exploring an ornate oriental house/shop on a derelict street.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> On first encounter the works are compelling, each suspended in a kind of stasis, not progressing but being. Each works has a strong physical presence in the room, due to size or materials, but most importantly they seem to be existing there, almost without us. Each work feels that it is tackling the question of being and living, purposefully blurring the lines between being and art. After reading the context or sitting with the work for longer these lines are blurred further - the sculpture has an internal heating system making it the temperature of the human body, the water tanks are from Monet's waterlilly pond, the video takes inspiration from a cafe in Japan where a monkey has been trained to be a waitress, wearing the mask and wig, as well as the footage which was taken from Fukushima.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> The stasis and seeming blindness of the art objects allows for a slow dreamlike quality in the gallery enabling us to explore these articles that exist on the edges of art and life. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> I find this inspiring as it is the gallery equivalent of an intervention - instead of siting art within life, here life is situated within the artwork. In this exhibition we can almost live through the works for a brief moment, as apposed to the works living through us momentarily.</span></span><br />

<br />
It’s a game for people who listen to music on a portable device. We’ve created a number of mystery tracks that you can hide within your playlists. You’ll then discover these tracks at random : audio roulette !<br />

The mystery tracks are not musical, but are recordings of places and spaces designed to interrupt your listening routine. The intent of the game is to invite the unexpected into our day-to-day routines, interrupting not only our music but ourselves too.<br />
<br />
The tracks are designed to surprise or transport you, before returning you to the safety of your headphones. They are short 30 second recording of a place, space or activity. Sounds include exotic locations such as the rain forests of Borneo, as well as every-day sounds of urban life from London and areas of the UK. Tracks are recorded binaurally, giving realistic and immersive 3-d sound.<br />
