Temporary project in public space, commissioned by the Haarlemmermeer council, 2007. Sound of Haarlemmermeer is a sound archive of the Haarlemmermeer region in 2007.The sounds were recorded in a city bus converted into a mobile sound studio during October and September 2006. Due to the expansion of Schipol Airport, the Haarlemmermeer region has developed over the last 150 years from a quiet nature area to having the highest decibel count per square kilometer in the Netherlands. Via a call-up in local media, residents were invited to submit sounds for a sound document of the region in 2007. All sounds were recorded live on location in collaboration with residents. The document appeared in March 2007 in the form of a double LP and a publication available to residents. Amongst others, a heavy metal band, an activist choir, crickets in the grass, harvesting sounds, a Philippine singer and the Youth Symphony Orchestra from the Haarlemmermeer region can be heard. The sound recordings are preserved for the future in the Hoofddorp City Archive.
