In November 2015 we made recordings based on the question chosen by the students, "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai". These results are posted on top.

Previously we asked the question in May 2015: "What is the difference in the sound between the inside and the outside of the conservatory". The question in December 2015 then became "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai" In so doing, we investigated the relations that give meaning to the sounds and music around us as students and teachers and engaged with the city of Chennai.

This post is by Diploma 2 student at KMMC Sukanyan Sunthareswaran: Soundscape - Poverty In Chennai - A Street Tailor: 

This soundscape has been recorded on a street in Chennai, India on 18th of November 2015. This audio is about a street tailor who walks on the street everyday with his portable sewing machine looking for people to bring him clothes to saw. When he was walking on the street with his machine, with his permission I have followed him and got this fabulous sound recording. Once he got called by a woman to repair some of her cloths. When he was sewing that cloth the sound was more interesting as you can see from the recording. When I was going with him he started enquiring about me and my family.
