Rail Transport Soundscapes: Journeys in the Urban Space of São Paulo (2020) author(s): Nicolau Centola published in: Journal of Sonic Studies
Project R$4.00 proposes a study of the soundscapes of public rail transport in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. The author travelled with an audio recorder for more than three hours on the city’s subway and train lines. The aim was to analyze the sound similarities and differences between the 12 city lines. This recording was transformed into a sound installation which uses binaural techniques to recreate the sound spatialization recorded inside the wagons.
