In early 2026 I spent several weeks in Mexico City with microphones and a camera. On foot through the city, through the night, through the Bosque de Chapultepec, into the library and the metro.

Sounds from the archive

For years I have taken recording equipment on all my travels and collected sounds. I am slowly starting to work through the archive and make the sounds available. If you would like to use something specific you found in my productions, let me know.
