Dave Aftandilian Have you ever noticed how much passing traffic sounds like surging ocean waves if you listen with your eyes closed? Or how rain falling on pavement can sound like fire crackling? Or wondered what would happen if you put a sound you heard on one side of the city next to one from the other side? Then you should enjoy this immersive urban audio diary from Masayuki Imanishi that will help you see the Mystery in your own home place with fresh eyes and beginner’s mind.

about

This work was recorded in several locations.
All recording locations are in Osaka, Japan.
I enjoy a lot making field recordings of ordinary everyday life.
If you listen carefully, you can come across sounds that you wouldn't normally notice.
Wherever I go, these are present in filigree.
All sounds were captured within my immediate vicinity.

(Masayuki Imanishi, 3 January 2023).
