Decibels
About This Show
Show Info:
Decibels is a series of sonic essays exploring diverse landscapes. The stories use sound as a paintbrush to reveal the vibrancy of common places hidden in plain sight. Being aware, being quiet, and just being transforms cacophonous monotony into symphonic relationships.
A collaboration between Blue Egg Media and The New Asterisk Magazine.
The team includes Robin Gianattassio-Malle, Jeremy Joven, and Alexander Winter. With special thanks to Tobirus M. Newby for lending his voice and insights, and LN Lurie for contributing to the sonic signature.

Episode 7: Home Land Security

11 minutes
We are in San Francisco's Presidio Park, a piece of land preserved by its military history. There we find the Nike Administration building that used to house a central command for the coastal defense missile systems, before a secret intelligence organization took it over, and now it was opened up for the first time in decades to the public through an art exhibit entitled "Home Land Security." Artists from around the world engaged with ideas and concepts of national security, protection, and fear of the other within these military structures at the pristinely beautiful edge of the pacific coast.
Flâneur with us in this episode through some of the notions most relevant today through an archaeology of the present moment and its history.
