Before lockdown, the Society of Explorers collaborated with artist and basketball coach Joseph Bond. Taking the city as inspiration, they collected sounds and made a collection of samples. After the gallery was closed due to COVID-19, the group continued working on the project using Google Hangouts and Bandlab. In the video below, Joseph Bond discusses the project in more detail and shares the groups final composition.
