This project changed the way I think about sound recording and listening. Before starting, I mainly focused on collecting interesting sounds or textures. During the process, I became more interested in how recordings can shape spatial awareness and how listening changes depending on movement, architecture and environmental conditions. One important thing I learned was the…

After gathering the recordings, I started building the structure of the piece in Ableton. I originally imagined using many different locations, but during editing I realised the work became too fragmented. There were too many changes in atmosphere and it started to feel closer to a collection of recordings than a coherent listening experience. Because…

The recording process became an important part of the project because it changed how I paid attention to everyday environments. I recorded sounds in a private room, a university corridor and an underpass. Even though these are ordinary locations, I noticed that each environment had its own rhythm, texture and acoustic behaviour. In the private…

While developing the project, I started looking more closely at theories around listening and spatial perception. One text that became important for me was Acoustic Territories by Brandon LaBelle. In the introduction, LaBelle discusses how sound shapes the way people move through and experience environments. This helped me think about space not as a fixed…

For this project I wanted to explore how different spaces affect the way we listen and experience our surroundings through sound. My essay research focuses on sound installation and spatial perception, so I wanted the practical work to connect directly to these ideas rather than becoming a separate project. This made me think more carefully…
