I recorded with a transducer in both elevator lobbies, revealing the electronic flows that make this space work. The buildings buzz with activity. People do not linger but move quickly through, up or down and out. Outside the sonic reproduction of the transducer, the sound of conversational chatter prevails. The through line of the soundscape reflect the recordings of people moving in and out of the elevators and doors, a rhythmanalytic metastructure.

abstract
This is an archive of places, but it is even more an archive of the materiality of listening. This constitutes a larger inquiry and fascination with the listening as performance and the various “instruments” and “scores” that shape or encode this sonic event of the performance of the image. In particular, this project uses this arts-based research approach to engage critically with the concept of "The Transition," which has shaped the geography and imaginary of Ex-Yugoslavia. This is a collection of recordings made and then composed into soundscapes between September 2018 and May 2019 in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Kosovo. Through these techniques I propose an approach soundscape practices to engage materially the constitutive world of listening and the narration of time-worlds.
