Ultrasonic City

“What do you hear in the city? What sounds are only perceptible in the ultrasonic realm, where bats and crickets communicate? Sounds which are so high, our human ears cannot perceive them. This acoustic world becomes audible and it slowly fades into the more familiar sounds of the city.”
The urban sound world is quite dense. By extracting the ultrasound I wanted to reveal a sonic universe or even add another layer to the field recordings.
This is an interactive installation where you trigger the sound by touching the embroidery. The hand embroidered images visually represent the places in the city you are listening too.
