- Clip from Interview with Shirley Chernin - Forgetting Europe
- Transcript: "Actually, my father - and I can only speak from my personal experience - never wanted to talk about what life was like. Well he was young, he was only about 14, 15 years old, who knows - if he knew how old he was himself when he came because a lot of them falsified, you know, their papers, their age and all this. And he came before the first world war. But… he never wanted to talk about it. No he said, that’s a life ago. It was so painful."

- Two Soundmarks in Sydney: Soundscape of Sydney's downtown boardwalk
- A soundscape composition of Sydney's downtown boardwalk. These recordings are is an experiment of sonic ethnography that engages the listener with the soundscape of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Each soundmark, a term coined by R Murray Schafer, denotes the sound associated with a geographic locale. I encourage you to think in particular about the second soundmark of the waterfront: listen for the sound of the busking fiddler. It is not a live performance, but a recording played out of a speaker mounted in Sydney’s famous World’s Largest Fiddle. In the background we hear ships and the sounds of construction: the changing sonic landscape of a city trying to revive itself and survive in the wake of the shutdown of the steel plant and the coal mine, and reinvent itself as a historic landmark.
