Rain, birds and singing [from Artspace] invoke a feeling of serenity while trains, sirens and the truly business like sound of networking are amongst the first noises to be added to The Big Room. Inaugural TBI Digital Artist in Residence Luke Munn is looking for much more...

In creating The Big Room - Luke wants to create a room that explores our everyday work spaces. He describes The Big Room as “a fluctuating sonic space - a combination of concrete floors, motorway ambience, conversation snippets and ambience which is constantly shifting, and only possible through the online medium."

Luke invites anyone to contribute their own acoustic to this unique soundscape, by submitting a short audio recording and image of their room.
