The urban soundscape project.

Urban So u n d scape manifesto • To awaken the interaction and evocation of sound within the urban environment. • To personalize the experience of the urban soundscape. • To illuminate the pathways of sound, and the relationship between body, building, sound and space through navigated mapping. • To give others insight into the possibilities of the potential for creating and interacting with sound anywhere in the urban environment through guided encounter. I chose to analyse objects, sounds, people and their relationship between each other. I found that often people move to avoid physical behaviour, but sound is a lot harder to evade. This focus has allowed me to test all avenues starting with my own personal experience and eventually including others. body space sound navigates exert pressure orients makes hears impacts interacts defne each other Michelle McDonell s3016468
