about

60 Minute Cities is an album series focusing on an individual's genius loci or the 'spirit of a place'. Each album is a personal document of the recordists (re)discovery of their 'city' through sound. The 60 minutes of recordings are taken from the recordist's own personal surroundings and include photos and text to describe the significance of these sounds to their own lives. The result is a document that reveals the deepest character of a place through a native resident's own experience so that (locals) and non-locals, as well as the recordist, can (re)connect with the city and (re)discover the beauty of their place.

This is an open project and anyone can participate. Visit www.bivouacrecording.com/60-minute-cities/

Our world is full of noise, and as the Earth’s populace continues to increase, we are only heading toward an even noisier one / Around the time that I was thinking about how to approach this sonic portrait of Vancouver, I was becoming all-too aware of a growing lack of etiquette surrounding noise. Generally speaking, sound is stimulus, and although it can be used as a helpful tool, it also has a weaponizing power / When I sit on public transit or in coffee shops in an attempt to listen to and absorb a sonic environment, I’m amazed at how most of the time it is people’s phones I am hearing and little more / The cynic in me jumps to this thought: we are a desensitized public who not only seem to have forgotten that headphones even exist, but seem perfectly ignorant to how noise can affect the people around us / However, the idealist in me speaks louder here, and I’ve decided to use this project as an opportunity to capture a Vancouver as I hear it, or at least want to / These recordings are of my quiet Vancouver, of places one can go and meditate on sound rather than be distracted by it //
