A Peace of Silence: Global Audio Collective

Hello,

​

My name is Michelle Bowen, and I’m an artist based in New York State. If you’re reading this, I hope it means you’re interested in representing your country in a global audio art project titled "A Peace of Silence."

​

This project focuses on ambient room tone—the subtle sound a room makes when no one is speaking. It's a quiet presence we often overlook, yet it carries a space's unique character, emotion, and spirit. My goal is to gather at least one of these acoustic “heartbeats” from someone in every country around the globe—but why stop there? Let's aim for millions!

​

By sharing your silence, you are offering a small but meaningful piece of your world. Each recording will be continuously combined into one collective global sound that grows over time with each new submission, symbolizing peace, connection, and our shared humanity.

​​

​​​Four simple steps to record your indoor "peace of silence":

​

• Choose a quiet room and open the camera on your phone or video device 

• Point the camera sideways (landscape) at any spot* 

• Press record to capture approximately 90 seconds

• Click here to upload your recording in this form.

​

With warm regards and heartfelt appreciation.
