Super sonic: Sound brings city spaces to life

Sound artist Mr Underwood temporarily secreted his latest pieces of Sonic Graffiti, consisting of eight small audio players and synthesizers into decayed and neglected urban spaces, with users having to interact with the pieces to trigger or manipulate sound.

‘I’ve been leaving odd sound objects in public places for years, but this incarnation of my Sonic Graffiti was scaled up to create a series of interactive, playable synthesizers,’ says artist Sam Underwood.
