about

We want to discover and listen to what is around us. The world is an interesting space sonically. To listen to new spaces and how humans and other living beings inhabit them. Part of the listening is the recording process as it makes one more attentive to what's actually happening sonically, as opposed to the filtering process that is part of our everyday hearing.
Listening is a process of the sonic discovery of the spaces that we choose to visit. In terms of the city, this means listening to people's lives and activities. Everyday sounds thus take on their own importance.

The recording is the start of that process, as is the listening part of the process afterwards. Followed by a creative/artistic process where we edit the recordings, either by
1. segmenting them into standalone sonic archives
2. editing them as they are as soundscape pieces, or …
3. by adding our own soundscape/musical material as we did with 20 Janets. We are more interested in this creative process than the endresult.

What purpose does this serve? We record and also make our own sounds, edit them in a “hand-made way”, enjoy the act of making something – in short, we are making a group document of our creative selves.
