The HMMM is a large scale sound installation that is developed out of the acoustic ecology tradition of the "soundwalk." It is a very long line filled with the sound of humming (both humans and radios) . It is an all pervasive, immersive experience with a sound that can be heard from many, many different vantage points. At the same time, it is non-intrusive, and never very loud in any one area. It lasts at least 30 minutes because we need time to adapt our hearing to this rare aural phenomenon.
