three spaces explored the idea of sound as a delineator of space. While traveling in Egypt I recorded the sounds of neighborhoods, mosques, stairwells, and other environments.

Henri Lefebvre writes (1991) that space has an "affective kernel" that speaks to those who enter it. This project was an attempt to capture any sonic traces of such a kernel. Most of these recordings were later used as material for Dérive Enter Mille Sons.
