"Microsoundtrack for Pitman Park features local sounds that can be heard at 6 listening posts situated throughout the Park. In generating these park-based recordings, Dib and Meza decenter the human through a shift in scale. Minute sound samples, microcosmic soundscapes form a soundtrack of life in the park. Recorded sounds are at times beyond human perception, but not beyond all species’ perception. By creating a soundtrack based on other organisms that share this park, Dib and Meza tap into non-human worlds and bring some of their sounds in contact with our senses."  - Divya Murthy, curator.
