4 people, 4 minutes of recording, 2 days to pass it on.

Archiving the residue of home-sounds, Foldable Sounds draws on the collaborative and independent nature of the child’s drawing game Exquisite Corpse (where one person draws a ‘head’, folds the paper, passing it onto the next person to draw the ‘torso’ etc until some sort of body is ultimately unfolded). The project was born out of a sense of acoustic boredom from being locked inside; the need to project one's ears onto someone else's head -just to hear something other than the repetitive sounds of the inside - in order to springboard the imagination into some other space/time.

Every ‘track’ was a product of 4 strangers digitally sharing, mixing, distorting and layering a maximum of 4 mins (each) of spatiotemporally unique soundscapes within the 2-day limit; questioning how the exposure to varied soundscapes could change our experiences of times inside and coming out of lockdowns.

Sound collective trio based in Berlin, Leeds and London,
inviting participants from across the globe to collaborative create tracks via email-chain from field recordings of quarantined spaces. Traversing sonically across geographies and time- zones, raising money through sound for marginalised people and those in need.
