This is the second part of a multi-media study.

The sampling and exploration from a combined video and sound perspective, with the main focus on video patterns, has been ongoing for a number of years.

This project has just started and is exploring soundscapes related to transport, movement and pattern and considers sound independent from the video. It is all a large experiment and continues.

Here a few samples of recent recordings (unedited) from New York - 'The Subway', and from Paris - 'The Metro' and 'The Left Bank'.

All the soundscapes in this folder are set to be PRE-LOADED. But even then you may need wait until the [loading] caption clears before [playing] the item.

Technical information: The soundscapes are UN-EDITED at this release. More to follow.
