• To awaken the interaction and evocation of sound within the urban environment. • To personalize the experience of the urban soundscape. • To illuminate the pathways of sound, and the relationship between body, building, sound and space through navigated mapping. • To give others insight into the possibilities of the potential for creating and interacting with sound anywhere in the urban environment through guided encounter.
