Aaron Ximm (Quiet American), from his website=20
(http://www.quietamerican.org):

"The world makes its own music, but we rarely listen with naive ears.

"Quiet American is the manipulation of sounds I hear and record.

"The project began as I grappled with what it meant to be a tourist in=20
another culture. It continues as I grapple with what it means to be a=20
tourist in my own.

"The opportunity, the thrill, and the risk of travel is being present to=20
the world. My goal with Quiet American is to sketch in sound the=20
experience of being in an unfamiliar place."
