Circular Quay | SydneyHarbour | Evening Rush Hour
28 September 2015
Rush hour at Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour during the evenings golden hour light creates amazing opportunities. Set against the high-rise office block, the interlocking transport hubs, commuters, tourists and street artists there is a wealth of opportunities here.
The weakness of two-dimensional photography and something I strongly rile against is the lack of multiple sensory engagements. For this tour, I was seeking sonic landscapes that would produce iconic audio recordings that captured the ambiance of the context.
With your eyes shut, Circular Quays is a cacophony of competing sounds. Trace these to their source and they relate to power, energy and transport. Add people and you soon realize how insignificant they are. An aborigine didgeridoo busker makes a forlorn and eerie plea against the orchestra of the high-tech city.
