Tracing the Sound 3: Rhythm

Tracing The Sound 1-3 [Download the full track here](https://clf1npb9f0002mi0893yfwzix.orvylle.xyz/) Tracing The Wild’s audio collection brings the Maasai Mara to life through sound. These twenty-minute soundscapes created by Mercy Barno were composed from field recordings of nature as well as interviews with members of the conservation community and those who live near lions in the Maasai Mara. The tracks masterfully weave together stories, savannah sounds, and music to create a rich tapestry of sound, with each track having a unique emphasis and flavor. The tracks were designed as an accompaniment to the visual artwork installation of the portraits of lions Sintamei, Mama Kali and Naramat by Chuma Anagbado and Daria Smakhtina, but they also function as immersive artworks in themselves, transporting listeners into the heart of Africa. Each track may be collected individually, and all three tracks may be played simultaneously through a three-channel system to simulate the installation setup for Tracing The Wild’s premiere at Nairobi Design Week. - Tracing The Sound 1: Voice - Tracing The Sound 2: Nature - Tracing The Sound 3: Rhythm The Collection Tracing The Wild is built from data reflecting the biosocial interactions and coexistence of lions and human communities in the Mara, and is intended as a way to express the life of these rare predators who are tracked and protected by the innovative conservation organisation Kenya Wildlife Trust. Nairobi Design Week 2023 Exhibition This exhibition shines a light on Kenya Wildlife Trust's crucial work stewarding the predator ecosystem of the Mara, and 50% proceeds from sales of all Tracing The Wild artworks benefits Kenya Wildlife Trust’s work directly, with 30% going to the artists and 10% to Nairobi Design and 10% to Sovereign Nature Initiative.
