Sri Lanka Sound Diary


As part of a six week residency based at Sura Medura I will be travelling around Sri Lanka recording sights and sounds for a composed soundscape work which will be exhibited at the Colombo Art Bienalle in 2014. To keep track of my activities I am keeping a sound diary on soundcloud which I will periodically add new sounds to.

The residency is run by Scottish arts organisation UZ Arts.
