What are the sounds of our periphery life? A lot can be learned from our lowest frequency register. Our neighbours one floor down moved around in a peculiar way, like they were re-organizing their apartment over and over again. At all times of day and night they would play throbbing music. Filtered through the floor, the sound would reach our apartment as a distorted mess of muffled voices and bass. The layouts of both apartments must be nearly identical. The structures designate the signals that flow out of our spaces. The architecture of a home presents the inhabitants with logical, or at least preferred, paths. The choreography of a place is sensed. The intuitive pathways wear down into artifacts of our living.
