HERD ABOVE THE NOISE: INSTALLATION.There are 170 speakers in the installation version with a new custom software system. It requires a large floor for it to go on. This size can vary the minimum size could be 20ft by 20 ft to 60 ft by 50 ft. The installation plays thousands of sounds from around the world and is arranged like an entangled map of the city the artwork is installed in. What you see and experience is a map of wires and cables and speakers including over 170 speakers, custom made amplifiers and cables that are all used to make the installation. The aim is to create an online aural experience that evokes place, both as literal description but also developed musical composition.

WORKSHOP: SOUNDCITIES Workshop with the soundcities project. The workshop investigates field recording, collecting sounds, editing sounds, and finally they put them in the database and on soundmaps on the soundcities.com site.
