Music for Catwalks was an interactive sound installation performed in November, 2010 at the Doudna Fine Arts Center at Eastern Illinois Unviersity, Charleston. Microphones were places in the large public foyer of the building, to pick up sounds from passersby. Those sounds were fed into a laptop. I then manipulated these sounds and layered them with other samples to produce a composite texture. The composite sound texture was diffused into the space using 4 loudspeakers.
