Caffé Nero, Queen Street, Cardiff, United Kingdom

"We always use our sight to discover our surrounding environment, understanding activities happening around us. However, can we do the same without using our sight?

This project attempted to discover the possibility of using hearing to understand our surroundings. Loud sound such as coffee machines and human voices were the most noticeable ones. From time to time, more and more sound became visible when paying more attention on hearing instead of seeing. When relatively louder sound turned silence, quiet sound like refrigerator became obvious to our ears.

Human voices are the most noticeable sound to our ears. However we may have ignored the presence of other sound, if we focus too much on human voices.

In this music, sound in cafe have been regenerated except human voices, so we can pay more attention to other sound exist around us."
