Preserving the Sounds of Industry

We document dock crane sounds, capturing operational noises, safety signals, and worker communications to create an acoustic record of Singapore's historically overlooked Red Light Dock environment.

Several large cranes are visible at a port or dockyard, with numerous other cranes and industrial structures in the background. The sky is clear, giving the scene a sense of openness and space.
