    Lidia

    00:00:16,540 Someone with a bag
    00:00:28,520 Ok. Music
    00:00:33,160 Nice music
    00:00:50,860 What is that? Oh, the car, the market. I think

    Eugenie

    00:00:01,800 Children outside
    00:00:10,760 I think it's outside
    00:00:13,700 Shoes, walking people
    00:00:20,440 Or maybe papers
    00:00:27,480 Music inside
    00:00:31,380 Chilling up
    00:00:53,060 This is outside. It's a troll, it's a bag
    00:01:30,900 People in a room. Inside. They are moving, close
    00:01:54,620 It's inside somewhere, somewhere...
    00:02:15,400 Children in a swimming pool

    Alex

    00:00:11,740 Em... I hear... It sounds like walking and it's quite windy outside
    00:00:18,620 But it sounds like... It's... The microphone is inside or something
    00:00:26,980 It's probably music
    00:00:30,320 From a car maybe or from some radio?
    00:00:37,600 It's outside on the street. I hear some cars in the background
    00:00:48,700 Mmmm... It sounds like gardening sounds
    00:00:54,820 There are people in the background or maybe it's bikes
    00:01:05,840 Oh I hear a bird in the background
    00:01:12,120 A very monotone sound
    00:01:16,740 It's like driving, maybe driving in a car
    00:01:35,120 And some wind around It seems like outside but there is some noise in the background
    00:01:36,580 It seems like outside but there is some noise in the background
    00:01:46,340 It's outside
    00:02:04,920 Oh, I hear children in the background crying
    00:02:04,940 There is some weird sound in the foreground, which I... It's hard to describe [chuckling] Oh, I hear children in the background crying
    00:02:08,360 There is some weird sound in the foreground, which I... It's hard to describe [chuckling]
    00:02:14,900 Again it sounds like there is a kindergarten or school nearby

    00:01:27,940 Two people having a conversation on a street
    00:01:36,280 One of them is walking away [chuckling]
    00:01:42,100 And now a car is passing
    00:01:50,600 It's a construction site
    00:01:53,300 Something is being hammered
    00:02:01,200 Some sports match or something
    00:02:04,160 Everyone is **

    00:02:18,760 To a group of people
    00:02:22,760 It's like a very large voluminous space [chuckling] cause it's echoing a lot
    00:02:36,760 Some people are shouting at something at a distance
    00:02:43,760 It sounds like in a courtyard
    00:02:46,540 A baby crying

    00:00:20,660 Outside probably
    00:00:28,880 Oh, that's... It sounds like there is something clapping or like hitting against a surface
    00:00:38,520 And it's very repetitive sound
    00:00:46,600 Oh, I can hear some, some radio or some music or broadcast
    00:01:00,200 That was too short. I don't know [chuckling]
    00:01:04,440 Oh, it's quite loud. It's... Maybe it's in some kind of transport
    00:01:16,220 Oh, there is a child speaking
    00:01:25,740 There are people talking outside... In a foreign language
    00:01:36,280 It's not Dutch and there is some wind
    00:01:42,320 There are more people talking
    00:01:52,760 Oh, there is sounds like there are construction works
    00:01:56,720 Or hammering
    00:02:00,920 Oh, it's very loud. Oh [chuckling], it's applause or... a crowd of people. I don't know [chuckling]
    00:02:12,060 It's inside. It sounds like a hallway... I don't know. Like inside
    00:02:18,260 Because I hear some echoing
    00:02:22,560 Ot it's inside a tunnel, where people are passing by
    00:02:38,200 It sounds like near some street outside and I hear some kids in the background
    00:02:46,600 Again, there is a child screaming or crying

    Player

    The player is an audio archive of voices and sounds from workshops I have co-organised, soundwalks and media sources from a body of research. It is a digital utterance that intends to be a reminder to the first forms of excluded female vocal expressions. I am using this material in my podcasts by mixing and overlayering them and creating a form of narrative with my own voice.
