Presented in four parts on media players and  headphones or available as a download, each movement is composed for  located listening in specific parks and gardens in the south of  Brussels, with the sounds gathered from the surrounding areas. Urban  features such as tram pylons, metal railings and sign posts act as  tuning forks embedded into the city&#8217;s fabric, filtering its&#8217; sounds  according to their resonant properties. Electro-magnetic fluctuations  from passing cars and trams feature alongside the sounds of co-existent  organisms such as plants, birds and fish. The City Tunes Itself reveals  the musicality and inefficiency of energy flow through the urban  environment as sound energy is transformed by the city&#8217;s resident  materials. To the roadside railing or lamp post, a passing car or tram  is like the bow to the violin.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n[lang_nl]Deze wandeling onthult de verborgen geluiden van de stad. Vier  onderdelen zetten aan tot luisteren in specifieke parken en tuinen in  het zuiden van Brussel. Typische stadsgeluiden treden in dialoog met  natuurlijke organismen die zich in dezelfde omgeving bevinden. Het werkt  illustreert de muzikaliteit en klankenergie van de stad door stedelijke  elementen gericht in te zetten.[\/lang_nl]<br \/>\n[lang_fr]Cette promenade d\u00e9voile les sons cach\u00e9s de la ville.
