Taiwan Sound Map Project - Daan District

Through sounds, we revisit the places we live in.
Through listening, we discover the messages hidden in ordinary things of daily life.

Sound Map, using Google Maps as its interface, is a collection of sounds while the recording locations are respectively indicated on the map. Each location may include single or multiple recordings from different times. The sounds recorded can be accidental or commonly-heard. What's more, there are sounds we tend to ignore or were unable to hear before. Since 2010, Tsan Cheng Wu launched Taiwan Sound Map Project. In this long-term sound art project, the artist records sounds over years in various places in Taiwan. Traffic noises, human voices or sounds from urban activities, little by little the project has grown into a comprehensive soundscape of different cities.
