THEBIGEAR
THEBIGEAR is a project coordinated by Francesco Michi
We intend to build an imaginary soundscape, imagining to have such a powerful ear that can perceive sounds coming from an endless acoustic horizon (click on "the project" for more).
Everyone can participate to the project… we are only asking you to describe the sounds you are hearing in this very moment exactly where you are… sounds in the room where you and your computer are, coming from the other rooms of your house, or from the outside, from the city or the countryside (to send your contribution click on "to participate").
AN IMAGINARY SOUNDSCAPE
my partner is watching a youtube video in the other room while I'm studying in my bedroom. I can only ear the clicking noise of my PC keyboard, but suddenly a music from the garden start playing! It is repetitive and calm. A dog barked while a car passed by.
Are my neighbours listening to something? How? Where? And what? The city soundscape is so different from the countryside, I really miss it. Everyone thinks that my country hometown is in total silence, but it is not. I think that the main different is that in the city the sounds you hear are mostly "created" by other people. I have to still think about it.
