Sound of transitions

Sound of Transitions is a sonic exploration of everyday life and urban movement, treating public space as a living musical score. Invites listeners to engage in attentive listening and to reconsider how sound shapes our perception of space, movement, and everyday experience. Originally filmed across transitional zones in South-East London (New Cross, Deptford, and Greenwich), this project translates human movement, infrastructure, and environmental interaction into sound. Each video functions as a graphic score: people, vehicles, and spatial elements become sonic triggers, generating rhythms, harmonies, and textures as they move through the frame. Drawing on concepts from soundscape studies, the work explores how everyday transit produces its own hidden musical structures. Inspired by practices such as acoustic ecology, soundscape composition, musique concrète, and ambient music, the compositions are designed as passive sound—meant to coexist with the environment rather than demand focused attention.
