Sounding Spomenik started a series of extensive research trips in early 2021, focusing on the acoustic dimensions of former Yugoslav memorial architecture. The project's field trips investigate the sonic characteristics, environmental soundscapes, and broader auditory conditions of memorial sites constructed across the territory of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia between the early 50s and early 80s. These memorial sites are now scattered around within the state borders of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, and North Macedonia.

These research trips constitute a terrain-based investigation into the relationship between architectural form, landscape, materiality, and sound. Through on-site observation and the systematic documentation of environmental and architectural acoustics, Sounding Spomenik explores the ways in which these memorial structures interact with their surrounding environments and produce distinctive sonic conditions. Particular attention is given to the interplay between intentional architectural design and the incidental sounds generated by natural phenomena, human activity, and the changing conditions of the surrounding landscape.
