Sacred Soundscapes of Chicago

Sacred Soundscapes of Chicago is a living sound archive designed to capture and preserve the rich tapestry of Chicago’s spiritual and religious soundscapes. By documenting the sonic rituals of diverse faith traditions—whether through prayer, song, bells, chants, or ambient atmospheres—this project explores the role of sound in spiritual experience and communal identity. The interactive digital archive invites participants to listen, reflect, and contribute to a living mosaic of Chicago’s sacred sounds.
