HUMAN RHYTHMS originated as a book documenting neighborhood sounds heard along Banker Street in Brooklyn over a series of mornings in November 2022. These sounds were translated into a visual score, organized by time and volume.

In the book, the musical composition is formatted using a traditional bar structure, with additional incremental grids denoting 30-second intervals. Vertical placement corresponds to volume: the higher a note appears, the fainter it sounds; the lower it appears, the louder it becomes. This orchestra of sounds remains intentionally ambiguous. Its notation does not trace a clear point of origin or departure, nor does it describe where sound reverberates spatially.

This mobile-only accompaniment reinterprets that system through touch. Each interaction allows users to both hear and visualize the emergence and disappearance of sound. Every sound is randomized, and the generative composition is unique to each viewer.

The instructions are simple: (1.) Touch the screen to activate a random sound. (2.) Press and hold to let the sound and image grow louder and larger. (3.) Release to end the sound. (4.) Multiple touches may occur simultaneously.

The result is an imagined musical composition that exists only through physical engagement. Its fleeting quality echoes the experience of listening itself: sounds that exist only in the instant they are heard, and disappears as soon as they pass. A New Score No. is assigned only when a new visitor engages with the work.
