A transition between a subway train arriving to Kamppi station in Helsinki and a plane passing overhead while in the woods in Ottawa.

A transition between the Helsinki blacksmith-fountain clip and the Ottawa road-sewer clip.

A shift-sequence between Helsinki and Ottawa, moving from the breakbeat-Stockman clip, through the two Lincoln Fields mall clips, to the road/sewer clip. The opening clapping links texturally to the closing water sound; the rhythm of the footsteps closing the Helsinki clip links to the rhythm of the beeping starting the Ottawa clip; plus links between very differenct musics and voices in very different languages...

May 12th afternoon. Lincoln Fields Mall, Ottawa. Both outdoors and indoors; much peopliness. High sound density.
Vestibule on the way outside - small space, doors opening and closing, music playing; to outside - cars, carts; wagon rolls by; voices; to parking lot - seagulls, traffic noise, voices.

May 12th afternoon. Lincoln Fields Mall, Ottawa. Both outdoors and indoors; much peopliness. High sound density.
Begins in the parking lot; grocery carts rolling on pavement; car ignition; through sliding doors, into grocery store; carts being pushed together, crowd noise, cash noise; out into the mall - crowd noise, similar to grocery space but without cash, carts; push-doors into vestibule on the way outside - small space, doors opening and closing, music playing.

May 10 07 late afternoon, Ottawa river, outdoors, zero peopliness, rapids, car, birds, fairly dense, starts with steady rush of rapids, ends in woods with birds etc. Less a space-transition, more a density/texture-transition maybe...?

May 10th late afternoon. Ottawa River Parkway. Outdoors. Quite dense to medium density. medium-busy highway traffic to woods (birds etc.)

May 10th, late afternoon. Ottawa West Filtration Plant. Outdoors. Zero peopliness. From woods (birds etc) to the medium-to-loud hum outside a water treatment facility. (Technically the same 'space', but different sound worlds...)

May 10th, late afternoon. Mud Lake conservation area, Ottawa. Outdoors. Zero peopliness. In the woods (birds etc); a plane passes overhead, close enough to be quite loud. Does this constitute a transition? I have not moved; my space has not changed. But the shift from natural sound to the sound of the plane is a dramatic shift in cultural space... (Plus the plane has a nice symbolic link with our themes of transitions, different local and geographical spaces, etc...)

May 10th, late afternoon. Ottawa River Parkway. Outdoors. Dense sound activity. Starts with medium-heavy highway traffic; tranisition to the inside of a sewer tunnel - rapidly flowing water in an enclosed concrete space.
