My sound practice is a soundscape recording. It captures the ambience of spaces and focuses on the manner of footsteps as sound transitions through different mediums. By placing a glass of water on different floor surfaces, I investigate how the everyday sound of footsteps resonates in each environment, and how it can be perceived through the water in the glass. This practice aims to document the unique sonic spectrum created by footsteps in different settings, examining how sound waves propagate from air to glass and into water. The audio recordings aim to engage the audience’s auditory sensitivity, acuity, and perception from non-visual perspectives, bringing the pure effect of not only hearing but also listening to the recorded ambience whilst feeling the vibrations of sound. Since our perception of sound varies, this approach emphasises how sound influences our understanding of space beyond immediate visual cues. So please enjoy and immerse your ears and thoughts in this series of six audio recordings. It is a moment of awareness.
