Subsequent Hearing: A project using sounds from the urban landscape

subsequent hearing. The idea is to make the subsequent hearing of the recording into a fictional space that allows an indirect, and layered
experience. This will thus create a soundscape of a city by recording sound events through different media to give a sense of a dispersed spatial dynamic.
