WAYBACK SOUND MACHINE: SOUND THROUGH TIME, SPACE, AND PLACE

Years ago while traveling for a project involving an ancient religious path, I became interested in the concept of sound back in time. What might this path sound like at different stages in history?  What would shape that soundscape? When considering at length the implications of this concept, I felt it could be useful both on creative and scientific terms, and at a practical and theoretical level. I began to expand upon this in practice with various artistic and cultural projects, and in research and writing. This work is on sounding the past, the concept potential, how it is already being used in various disciplines, what it could mean for our future and what it could say about our history.
