This map shows the sounds of the town of Bergeijk over 24 hours. You can see how the town grows in sounds in the beginning of the day, when the farmers go to their lands around the town to work. The big ploughs and trucks are clearly recognizable above all others sounds. When the morning proceeds, the children go to school. When they go home again later that day, also the farmers come back from their lands. From the houses comes the sound of diner being made, while the children play on the streets. After diner, the men go to the pub to talk about their day. Until it is time to go to bed, because the land does not plough itself. The church bells clearly mark every hour; all day, every day again.
Every sound is shown in a different way, depending on their frequency and rhythm. The map shows how the town seems to grow and shrink in sounds during the day. It is almost like it is breathing.
