for anyone who loves field recordings, general human sounds and being present (there isn't that many recordings yet so you have a pretty high chance of being the first one in your city/country) (i was) (it made me unreasonably proud lol)

i’m currently in film school, so this is essentially a standard practice for me to get inspired and discover other people’s stories. quite fun, and you realize how many people live such different lives. i honestly wish i could transcribe each and every one of these outside conversations.

I’ve recently read a book about the concept of “soundwalking” and listening to the beauty of your surroundings exploring your city and neighborhood. I used to become pretty over stimulated by the sounds of the world and would used my headphones religiously to block any sounds of the outside world from getting in. But I started to wonder if the things I use to protect myself from the outside world also isolating me from experiencing it to its fullest potential. Maybe the sounds of construction and people talking and birds and busses aren’t just “sound pollution“ but a reverberation of society and life. An organic inprov performance just for me where I am right now in the world. it made me think that anything has the potential to be a work of art depending on your perspective. I’ve started walking with a tape recorder everywhere I go and I record the sounds around me as an auditory diary of sorts. it’s fun to listen back and be reminded of the sounds of the bowling alley or the cafe or the sound check at the punk show. Since this perspective shift I’ve become allot less over stimulated by the world and become more creative with my greatest resource: the world around me.
