Chicago Wildsounds focuses on conserving and understanding the soundscapes heard throughout our city, sharing our records with the citizens of Chicago in order to encourage and develop an intimate relationship with the city's sonic heritage and surroundings. Our goal is to spread awareness about sound and how it functions in an urban setting, particularly its interaction with nature.

Inferno is a mobile youth arts program from the Chicago Park District, focusing on recording and media. We provide young people and community members of all ages and abilities with the tools to create self-authored digital media experiences. By enabling participants to produce original socially conscious works, we help to expand critical thinking skills through creative experimentation, collaboration and discussion.

Examples of work we do:
• Collaborative music sessions (electronic and acoustic)
• Video, photo and multimedia art projects
• Software/hardware training and workshops 
• Documentary and story-sharing
