15 Seconds: NYC Soundscape Video Series
Peronsal Project

Shot on iPhone

New York's audio landscape gets buried under noise pollution, making us forget the individual sounds that create the city's unique sonic fabric. This ongoing 15-second video series isolates specific NYC moments in public parks—handball players at courts, skaters at Tompkins Square—capturing sounds we hear but rarely notice. Each video focuses on single audio elements: ball against wall, wheels on concrete, stripping away urban cacophony to reveal isolated components of our daily soundtrack. The result: an audio diary rediscovering the forgotten poetry in New Yorkers at play.
