Wanting to work with field recordings and the practice of achieving mindfulness through active listening. Working with the idea that you could catch a beautiful sounding moment in time or miss it if you're moving to quickly. Based around a walk I took on October 31, 2023 @ 5:00 pm. Inaction is intended to be a sensory door to the past, a celebration of good timing, and a walking meditation when explored in smaller groups or alone.

A sound installation based on stillness, and mindfulness practices.

There are three modes: Modes I & 2 can be done individually/ the 3rd mode can only be experienced if everyone participates.

8 speakers will playback specific sounds based on wether a participant is moving or standing still in the 8 marked spots.

• Mode 1 Sharp sounds with quick attacks play from the associated speaker when movement is detected on a marked spot.

• Mode 2 While stillness or an absence on the marked spot triggers the playback of the field recording from the associated speaker.

• Mode 3 If all participants are still a granulated stereo file of the full piece is played over all 8 speakers. If movement resumes the bed will go silent.
