Using Ableton Live’s Filter VST, I created irregular frequency sweeps between the four speakers to create a sense of movement. The resulting washing sound is suggestive of ocean waves. I added the whistling and cooing sounds of improvisational singer Awomadah Fig. These vocal sounds are mixed with the filtered air-conditioning sounds to create a sense of an emerging entity, which reflects the intention of the work to revoice the urban soundscape. Note the crow call at 14s, which links nicely with the vocal sounds of the installation.
