By collecting and remixing found material such as field recordings, traditional Swiss music, and audio from subcultures, I investigate how sound plays an important role in rituals, community building, representation, and its potential as a medium of documentation. This work is a first product of an engagement with the psychogeography of sound and an attempt to position myself in that soundscape: Seeking to reappropriate tradition from its conservative ascription and reflect my own relationship to my environment and its preconceptions.
