As the audio begins, the listener is immersed in the gentle, rhythmic sound of footsteps echoing down the hallway. The steps are unhurried, steady - a casual stroll rather than a hurried rush. These are the footsteps of a person at ease, comfortable in their surroundings. The acoustic characteristics of the hallway become apparent too - the soft reverberation of the footsteps, the distant murmur of conversation, the occasional clatter of a door closing or opening. This is a busy, bustling environment, yet the walker seems detached from it, lost in their own thoughts. The microphone, positioned near the trousers, picks up the subtle rustle of fabric with each step, the occasional jingle of keys or coins in the pocket, the soft thud of a foot hitting the ground. These sounds are intimate, personal - a close-up auditory snapshot of the walker's journey. Every now and then, the footsteps slow down, pause, then resume - suggesting brief stops to admire a piece of artwork
