This short soundscape is the result of a participatory listening walk. The walk invited participants to walk together in silence and explore sound through attuning to the frequency of listening and mobilising the body to follow inquisitiveness to listen and record.

The soundscape captures 30 minutes physical walking and listening, condensed to 3 minutes audio. Time is captured through waves, preserved in it’s own frequency juices, a sonic archive told through multiple participant’s recordings on a day of a protest at a Higher Education Institute about working conditions and the future of learning.
