A life I don't know

When I travel, I am always a stranger in that place.
A place is filled with the histories, emotions and wisdom of the people who live there, where we can gain and compare actions, emotions and knowledge that we do not have in our own history.
We may go on a journey to learn about ourselves.
We may go on a journey to learn about others.
However, it is impossible to know others completely.
This sound source contains the perspectives of others.
It may be similar to a journey.
This piece is made by combining sound sources that were already recorded on the SD card when I borrowed a recording machine from the school. Here are only sounds that someone else, not me, thought 'Let's record'. Sounds that other people, not me, paid attention to. It may contain new perspectives that I alone cannot know. I may be able to experience the perspective of another person, not me, through this sound, even if only for a short while.
The headphones have long, black hair attached to them, which hangs down in front of you so that you can hear this sound. When vision is blocked, people are able to concentrate on information other than what they see. Also, if a person who has never experienced black hair or long hair wears these headphones, they may feel as if they are a different person, perhaps not themselves. It also means that they can simulate being someone other than themselves.
