Behind The Wall

A series of sound installations called Behind The Wall was set up in Stockholm, in May. A ten spots passers-by could plug-in their headphones in what seem to be mirror-less mirror frames, to listen ‘behind the wall’. What they would hear was a selection of binaural recordings.

A binaural recording is experienced best on headphones, it will really make you feel like you’re the one listening to the (recorded) world around you, you’ll hear sounds coming from all sides, including front and back. Behind The Wall is a nice promotion of sound-awareness, even though it was commissioned by a headphones brand (JAYS).
