Sonic Manila Research gathers sounding and listening activities, which are produced as art, design, social or scientific projects.

The objective is to participate in producing sonic and auditory knowledge by mapping sonic environments from and for diverse fields.

This is an archiving project by
Dayang Yraola from Manila, Philippines.

Sonic Manila Research is dedicated to
Prof. Michael Brewster (+) 
who despite the distance, and us being total strangers from each other, 
guided me in my first adventures with sound.
 his kindness will forever resonate with the sounds i hear and make.
