Publication // Sound Jams: Deluxe Edition

This special edition celebrates the launch of [sound jams] - a series of facilitated collective sound-based publication makings that I started doing as part of my master’s course research. In this case, you will find the first five editions of the sound jams: the stories behind the making, highlights from the process, visual scores, illustrations and, of course, the sonic pieces (on the micro SD card as well as accessible through a QR code & web link).
