New soundscape work for the SIAF



Urban Tuning is a soundscape work created using various field recordings, hydrophone recordings, digital synthesis and tuning forks.  The work is designed to play with the spacial dynamics of any given environment and to transform usually mundane or unpleasant sounds into blissful and subtle beauty, changing traffic into instrumentation for instance.  While the piece is transformative to the listeners relationship with the space occupied it can also blend into a variety of environments adding an unobtrusive layer that is meant to share the sonic landscape rather than overpower it.  Through the use of object sounds given out of context "Urban Tuning" exemplifies that the sonic character of disembodied frequencies can alter drastically their emotional response and hopefully teach the listener that all sounds are beautiful if given the opportunity to be truly heard.

Thank you to Tyler Gardin for mastering!
