The project “Buda’s Barrels” is a sonification of Budapest and created by several recorded one-shots and ambiences from the city. The empty barrels, also mentioned in the soundwalk description, form the main percussive framework of the project.
This collection of raw material from Budapest results in unique auditory experiences and a distinctive artistic expression. By converting these surroundings into machines, “Buda’s Barrels” results in a sonic landscapes that immerse listeners in danceable sonifications of biotic rhythms and organic textures.
