It is an exhibition that explores how sound interacts with us in terms of tapping into our emotions and memories. The immersive show is [multi-sensory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justine-emard), featuring eleven [sound-centric installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hifi-pursuit-listening-room-dream-no-3) scattered throughout the Barbican Center's location. The head of creative programme at the Barbican, Luke Kemp, who is also the curator of this described it as "an invitation to explore the expanded world of sound, how we feel it, see it and the possibilities it provides for us to understand ourselves and the world differently." When entering, visitors are met with the Observatory Station, an installation by sound artist Miyu Hosoi along with the sound project Cities and Memory.
