Contraphonic Sound Series
The Contraphonic Sound Series was a project that documented cities through sound. The project utilized sound in the search for authentic civic identities in an age of universal aesthetic qualities. It did so through distinct approaches to document the aural city:/ A Lot You Got to Holler - field recordings and collected soundscapes displayed on an interactive map of Chicago
/ Tonal Drift - a collaboration with Adham Fisher of 1000 Stations, examining place via cut-up field recordings from locations across London, the Greater UK, and Chicago
/ Little Hell - curated pieces by musicians exploring a particular place or moment in Chicago history, released digitally with accompanying booklet of text and photo essays
/ Fourth River - Pittsburgh-focused complement to Little Hell
Some press:
