Along Regent's Canal, one can observe many displaced tiles due to wear and the incessant rainfall in Britain. The resulting 'thump' sound created as one walks on these tiles becomes occasionally annoying and surprising. This motion stayed with us as we explored the area, and we realised that it appears throughout London as a whole. We started paying more attention to these sounds, pondering what they were conveying, whether there was a rhythm to them, and how they could be transformed into useful information for categorisation and identifying qualities of people passing by.

This aspect is demonstrated in the project through a series of explorations across various mediums to understand what identifiers can be and how we can capture them, inviting the audience to participate in creating useful sounds. The goal is to effectively turn the 'thump' sound into a meaningful 'identifier.' This could be valuable for pedestrians, enabling them to form a more vivid perception of the spaces they traverse, as well as offering a distinct means of recognising their location and what lies beneath their feet using sound. This can help distinguish different areas within a market, canal, or street.
