Details
This work traces the presence of footsteps throughout an hour long walking meditation. By positioning a mid-side microphone at ground level in the centre of the walking path, the physical line of the path becomes rendered spatially into sound, allowing us to discern it in our sonic imagination as we perceive each step back and forth. Starting off at a regular pace, the walker gradually slows down as the meditation progresses, resulting in a gentle disintegration of the walker’s sonic footprint.
