More things is a sub page I would like to put random things that are being worked on that do not relate to other things, kind of like a junk drawer for now.

Continuing the city soundscape

In the end, I ended up with a lot of recordings of solo walks and cycles. What to do with them? I listened to all of them, annotating what sounds I would hear.

These are two examples of the soundscape.

trial on paper, too thin

First, I tried on transparency paper, i liked the idea of attempting to create a small sewn zine with overlapping maps, but thinking back, after trying it, i ended up screenprinting this on cotton fabric, as it would allow for me to really use the material to my advantage, placing all the wondering walks and cycles on one singular map, instead of one route per map if that makes sense.

Now I will begin sewing the connections between the sounds, creating many layers.

I also like the idea of somehow also connecting the original audio files, but I am not sure yet of how and if i will do that. Maybe its nice to also just try to imagine the spacing between these sounds, the length of the walks, how close of far they feel, not hearing the sounds, but imagining what we remember they sound like. But lets see

Thinking about research

I want to continue working with sound in the context of public space, that I already know, but how? Listening is something I focused on a lot during the last Special Issue, and it is a topic that I know i want to experiment with more. While listening in the past, I have tried to focus on different aspects of it, for example, listening in a nominal way (yes sound, no sound), which forces you to focus on observing the rhythm of sound.

I also know that I want to incorporate some form of garment construction technique into the final project, but that relates more to the end representation project than the research itself.
