In the past few years, every time I travel I try to make little recordings of the surrounding environment. I’ve added three of them below. They are not meant to be movies in any narrative or even visually compositional way. They are souvenirs. What strikes me now as I watch them again, is how selective my hearing is when I’m out and about. There is much more “other noise” in the world that I don’t hear in the moment. Thank you, brain!
Since they are not movies, don’t feel like you have to plant yourself in front of the computer and watch. Just click play, turn up the volume and do your crossword puzzle or unload the dishwasher.
I could not love this more. It’s amazing how much we miss when we’re not listening. Thank you for the reminder.
