7eraff : UAE Craft SOUNDSCAPES

Series produced by American University of Sharjah

Series image

This is a collection of soundscapes captured during the field investigation of United Arab Emirates master craftspersons. Hear the magic and art of craft.

In today’s fast paced and heavily automated environment, we take a breath…a moment to appreciate craft, not just as the skill of making, but also as an art form.
7eraff provides a platform for technology and tradition to merge, and carry the stories of each craft forward into the future.

Experience the embedded meaning in each craft as you listen to a series of soundscapes to transport you to the region.

American University of Sharjah students recorded all of the audio in the field and produced these soundscapes as part of a course titled "MUM304 Media Systems and Publishing".
