A surround sound installation utilising what the artist is calling 'endangered sounds', i.e., those sounds which might disappear in the next ten or twent years. Visitors to the installation walk over a 'carpet' of over 200 endangered sounds and are immersed in a surround sound composition utilising 40 of the sounds, travelling around and through the listener: The work is fundamentally concerned with a reconsideration of how we relate to our changing sonic environment and was funded by the Arts Council of England.
