Quiet Ecology by Panoptique Electrical

In 2016 I undertook a ‘quiet odyssey’ across four colonised cities in so-called Australia, searching out and mapping quiet spaces in and amongst these built environments. I wanted to discover as many zones of quiet or retreat in these cities and make compositions in response to these locations. I created maps and listening walks that took me from space to space. My desire was to ask a simple question: can you find a way to release yourself, if only temporarily, from the noise of the world? This collection is a sonic memorial to these spaces and a musical act of quiet preservation.
