You hear, among others, German and American tourists in Cusco. We walk around the Plaza de Armas in Cusco in search of a restaurant. Restaurant staff promote their menus. A passing woman asks if I want a massage. And you probably hear much more than I do if you give it a try.

Recording I made while waiting in a parking lot to get out until the rain shower was over.

The sound of a medium-sized underground parking garage.

Binaural recording of travelers at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol on a busy summer day. Schiphol is a so-called 'silent airport,' meaning no flight announcements are made. But there is, of course, plenty to hear. The album art has been generated using Adobe Firefly.

Recorded with binaural microphones on the parking deck of the Megastores in The Hague. This is covered with tiles that lie apart from each other, separated by rubber elements. This causes a distinctive sound when driven over. Aporee: https://aporee.org/maps/work/?loc=55236
