Sacred Soundscapes

I have embarked on a new project, Sacred Soundscapes. This project will focus on how sacred sounds and music can be understood as a wider part of a Singapore’s contemporary soundscape. I’m interested in discovering what people consider to be the sacred elements of the soundscapes they experience today: Do these sounds originate from a religious context, from nature’s orchestra, from their mother tongues?

This project will be realised as an audio-visual installation at Esplanade Tunnel Link, Singapore. The show will run between 9th April – May 2nd 2010, leading up to the Tapestry of Sacred Music festival taking place there between 22nd – 25th April.
