Les journées de la culture at OBORO

There to Hear: Placing Mobile Music investigates the process of listening to music while traveling around the city. The project examines tensions and interactions between the real and the imagined, the real and the mediated, the soundscape and music, everyday life and art, and the senses. Created entirely through the manipulation of field-recordings of a specific public transit route in the city of Montreal, the resulting 42-minute musical composition comes into contact with its origins as participants listen to the piece on an mp3 player while traveling along the route from which the field-recordings were made.
