At first, I had started it by myself, and then a few students from Musashino Art University joined.

We exchanged the listening memos to see how much we could imagined the sound through reading them. By doing so, we began discussing about the listening memo; how we can improve it, or other ways to capture soundscape.

Since itemizing with simple description was not able to locate the sound and describe the movement of sound, we started using the map type memo as well.

During the weekends, there were some visitors to the studio. I took it as a chance to try out whatever came out the our discussion in the working group. Imagining the sound just by looking at the photo images that someone took at his/her listening spot. Taking 10 min listening memo through listening to the recording of a place. A person with a headphone describing what he/she hear, Through those experiments, I realized that the listening memo can be dictated with some simple gestures for people to imagine what the soundscape would be like. Then I needed a score to perform since the memo itself was not organized enough for the live performance.
