Sound makes the city

What we offer professionals

Soundtrackcity investigates sound as a fundamental component of our living environment. Interdisciplinary teams of sound artists, citizens, policymakers, academics and architects listen to the city and formulate new concepts and methods for future urban development.

Discovering city sounds together

Every neighborhood sounds different. What is the sound of your street? And what does that do to your experience of the environment? Explore and share your experiences in Urban Sound Lab.

Audio Walks

There is a story under every tile, histories hide behind every facade. Soundtrackcity’s audio walks bring them to life. A team of artists, filmmakers, musicians and theater makers stimulate the imagination with audio walks through Amsterdam, Hoorn, Leiden, The Hague, Vlieland, Rotterdam and Brussels that can be downloaded for free.

Soundtrackcity regularly organises workshops, excursions, lectures and other events. Our programme can be filtered by category.
