The line between sound and noise is often blurry- but it's without doubt that city vibrations are mostly perceived as noise, rather than sound.

Through Urban Soundscapes, we hope to create a space that celebrates the sounds of the city, aiming to shift perspectives around urban noise, and inspire its audience to take a step back and observe the world around them- to be mindful, and seek beauty within chaos.
