THIS IS WHAT WE HEAR

For my project, I chose to work with audio. Originally I had the idea to pick up and capture moments from around the Entresse area. Later on last week however, I noticed that I was gravitating more towards wanting to experience the space trough the experiences of someone else. 

I created a three and a half minute audio installation, that will be played in the empty store space reserved for Media Intervention. The actual work was executed by travelling to the area with an audio zoom. I talked to a complete stranger, whom I noticed sitting next to me on the bus to Espoon keskus. As she was heading to Entresse, I asked for her permission to record her experiences of the space. I switched to two more people, none of whom were familiar to me. I didn't know where they were coming from or where they were heading. I simply asked for their permission to pick up their traces and experiences of the space for a short moment in time.

The sound in the installation is partially layered and it overlaps slightly. It was edited together with an audio editing software, but I wanted to basically keep the moments as they were, without manipulating the experiences more that with slight fades.

The focus was to translate the feel of the place trough the people and experiences in the space.
