The Sonic Archive

The Sonic Archive preserves the music that accompanies daily life throughout the Human Archive.

Each playlist records a single day.

Created in real time and preserved chronologically, the playlists document the music present as photographs are taken, Field Notes are written, conversations unfold, places are encountered, and artworks develop.

The music is not selected afterward to describe what happened.

It belongs to the conditions in which the day was lived.

No playlist is intended to stand alone.

Returned to over time, the playlists allow days and periods of life to be encountered again through the music that accompanied them.

Songs repeat. Artists return. New music enters. Relationships between distant periods can become audible.

The archive continues to grow because life continues.
