The first sound that catches my attention is the "Tic Tok" of a wristwatch. The consistent ticking creates a sense of rhythm that is both soothing and mesmerizing. As I listen closely, I can almost feel the passage of time as each tick brings me closer to the next minute. The sound of the clock is captured perfectly in this recording, with each tick resonating clearly through the audio. It's a reminder of the unstoppable march of time and the fragility of each passing moment. The next sound that joins the chorus is the gentle chirping of birds in the background. Their melodic calls weave through the ticking of the clock, adding a natural element to the symphony of sounds. The juxtaposition of man-made and nature sounds creates a harmonious blend that is oddly satisfying. It's as if time itself is being measured not just by the clock but by the changing sounds of the world around us. The birdsong brings a sense of vitality and movement to the otherwise mechanical ticking of the watch. Suddenly, there is a metallic jingle that breaks through the steady rhythm of the clock. It's the sound of keys being shuffled, a reminder of the mundane tasks that punctuate our daily lives. The jingle is sharp and discordant against the backdrop of the ticking clock, creating a brief moment of dissonance before fading back into the background. It's a stark reminder that time waits for no one, and even the smallest actions can disrupt the fragile balance of our existence. As the recording progresses, the sound of footsteps becomes more prominent. Each step creates a dull thud that reverberates through the audio, echoing the measured passage of time. The footsteps add a sense of urgency to the overall composition, as if someone is racing against the ticking clock. The rhythmic pattern of the footsteps adds a new layer of complexity to the soundscape, creating a sense of movement and progression. The final sound that emerges is the distant hum of traffic. The low rumble of engines and the occasional honk of a horn blend seamlessly with the ticking of the clock, creating a cacophony of urban sounds. The traffic noise is a stark contrast to the quiet ticking of the watch, a reminder of the chaotic world outside our controlled environment. It's a testament to the relentless march of time, which stops for no one, not even the rush of city traffic. These sounds, captured by Kulanen, Sivaloganathan Virginie in 2019 and 2020, are a testament to the power of audio to evoke emotions and memories. Whether it's the steady ticking of a wristwatch or the distant hum of traffic, each sound in this recording tells a story of its own.
