Detailed Description

Crawford market is one of the busiest, evergreen and chaotic markets of Mumbai. Located next to the most iconic railway station in the world (CST), makes it a famous tourist point too. From different kinds of exotic fruit to pets, imitation jewelery to spices, imported fabric to Chinese toys, one can find almost any item here. The range and variety of cheap products available here makes it a densely populated market. The activities within the market and the surroundings like mosques, busy streets, people and railway station contribute to the hundreds of sounds produced and lost in this chaos. This project focuses on bringing out the essence of the market through a variety of sounds encountered within and around it. The motive is to showcase not just the sounds but also the emotions inherent to it
