Sound Bum CD “Traveling with Sounds″

Sound Bum CD_01 (2002)

Sound Bum is a project that “journeys in sound”. Several times a year, since 1999, we recruit participants and journey to different parts of the world.

There we’ll stop on a street corner or some patch of forest, and start the recorder. And as soon as we do, we begin to hear all sorts of sounds: sounds that were always there, but had escaped our awareness.

The wind rustling the treetops in passing, car horns honking as if in conversation, hawkers in the markets, mothers calling their children home, tiny birds hopping from branch to branch, thunder rumbling on the horizon…. In the process of recording these sounds, our hearing grows in leaps and bounds.

The world is full of sounds, and at the source of every one of them, is life.
