This work explores the temporal acoustics of the everyday soundscape. By fitting electronics inside of a hat, the wearer exposes themself to a recording of their daily sounds, creating a sound-portrait. The hat records 3 seconds of audio every 20 minutes, in a type of stop-motion fashion. While continuous recording would obviously pick up every sound which the wearer would experience, a disparate capture offers a dense experience of the everyday soundscape. This technique instills a feeling of cyclical temporality during playback. It is both environmental exploration and self-discovery. Leave the hat in one space and hear the cycles of a space, wear the hat for days, weeks, or years and hear the cycles of a life.
