Exploring Sound and Space

Perception Archives delves into the intricate relationship between sound and environment, capturing the essence of real-world moments. Each recording invites listeners to experience the subtle nuances of ambient sound, fostering a deeper connection with their surroundings.

Through meticulous field recordings, Perception Archives emphasizes the beauty of unaltered soundscapes. This project encourages a contemplative listening experience, allowing individuals to immerse themselves in the textures and atmospheres of various environments, ultimately transforming how we perceive sound and space.

“I have a love of listening to ocean waves, especially during sleep. However, I have no found a recording that did not have too much variance in loudness AND the ability to seamlessly loop. The inspiration for Perception Archives was simply that. I wanted to listen to waves while I slept and not have the track(s) wake me up. So I spent some funds on equipment and software and when a trip to the east coast happened to come up, I was ready.”
