The aim of this work is to temporarily transform the atmosphere of an entire public space using animal sounds,
altering the perception of our experience of the location. This bubble of fantasic and other worldly sounds is
kept alive through the participation of the people within it. Sounds of the Serengeti involves and is generated
by the residents and workers
of a shopping street. 48 out of 50 shop owners and residents asked participated,
including major chain stores, they could choose from 4 different CDs of animals found on the Serengeti, then playing it out
of upper floor windows using their own music players for the duration of the 3 day art festival. The CDs contain sound samples
sourced from the internet and old vinyl which are altered and reworked by the artist into long and varying atmospheric compositions.
