Urban Small Talk

Description:

Close your eyes, take a breath… the ambience has something to say. URBAN SMALL TALK is a digital archive of field recordings collected around Rotterdam, offering a new perspective into experiencing the city. Take a stroll around the soundmap and reconnect with Rotterdam, whether you are a fresh acquaintance or an old friend.

IRL Map

Imre and Sevgi are working on the map and how we can make it interesting to collect 'sound related memories' during the event.

We are thinking about the physical map, maybe we can use legends as a way to guide the audience into adding their memories to the map.
