If you walk out of Fed Square, along the Yarra walkway under Princes Bridge, you will find a little sign that tell you to call a number and leave a voice message, any message.

If you walk out of Fed Square, along the Yarra walkway under Princes Bridge, you will find a little sign that tell you to call a number and leave a voice message, any message.
Then walk under the bridge and above your head is a line of speakers that look like lamp shades. Out of the speakers comes distorted bird song recorded from birds that flock under the bridge.
Your voice will be “remapped, remixed, reverberated,” to merge with the birdsong. I dare you to recognise yourself.
What a great idea! And it’s free.
