Memory Soundscapes,
The Sound that Lingers

Have you ever listened to a sound, music or melody and start feeling things but you are unsure of how to explain that particular emotion that you are experiencing? “I’m feeling so much but there aren’t words for it. I can’t articulate what I’m feeling”. This happens when sound evokes emotions while triggering past occurrences in the brain, which causes memories to be brought back when similar sounds are heard again.

A project designed to explore communication in sounds through multisensory audio-visual experience and the concept of associative memory, to trigger sound-emotion perception. Breaking away from traditional forms of memory representation like photographs and diving into sounds, a language of greater harmonic flexibility and range than words.

This project also questions the modern-day obsession of visual memory preservation. We live in a time where photographs serve as the most immediate form of recollection. But what happens when we turn the lens inward, asking ourselves: How do we remember without the help of cameras/phones? This is a journey back to the essence of what it means to remember — the sounds, the feelings, the intangible sensory triggers that shape our recollections. In an era of deep tech dependency, the aim is to inspire an evolution back to more personal, immersive, and emotional ways of remembering.
