Transport 14.24.22 captures a snapshot of global flight routes at a specific moment—14:22pm, October 25, 2024—mapping the traces of human movement across the latitude of London. These routes, visualised and transformed into sound via the structure of a piano roll, explore the relationship between tempo, pitch, and time itself. I think constantly about time while creating—both the fleeting moment I'm freezing and the duration it takes to transform it into a layered experience.

"Speedbird 244 cleared to land 27 left, the wind 270 3 knots” - " cleared to land 27 left, Speedbird 244” A conversation between cockpit and tower caught by the antenna, while I was tracing the flight routes at 14.22pm, 25th Oct, 2024, as stated in my submitted file.
