Transition explores moments where one sonic state gradually or abruptly transforms into another. Through movement and changing acoustic conditions, sounds fade, overlap, and replace each other, revealing the continuous transformation of urban environments.
Leaving the cemetery, one gradually enters a different acoustic world. Birdsong slowly gives way to surrounding traffic, not through an abrupt change but through a continuous transition in which timbre, sound density, and perceptual focus constantly shift. The two environments overlap and crossfade, revealing the city as a network of constantly changing acoustic layers rather than clearly separated soundscapes.
Moving through a courtyard, staircase, and onto a busy street reveals a sequence of contrasting acoustic environments. The reverberant interior of the staircase gives way to the dense sound of urban traffic as the front door opens, creating an abrupt transformation of the acoustic atmosphere. The transition reveals how architecture organizes and separates urban soundscapes.
