“My Nanny’s Place” by Hannah Kalmisto

This soundscape composition highlights the familiar and comforting sounds that I have recognized over the years in my Nanny's (grandma's) home. However, there is a caveat to this, my Nanny has lived in various spaces throughout my lifetime, yet each one has still felt like her to me.

This composition highlights those specific and memorable sounds that I have noticed over the years. Crafting this soundscape was an interesting experience since I moved in due to the pandemic, and living with her has only made these nostalgic sounds that much more apparent.

This project was featured in episode 4 of The Place of Sound.
