Exploring ambient type in our surroundings, DJ Hear That!? explores the relationship between ambient sound and vernacular typography through probing the environment to create an object of play.

DJ Hear That!? utilizes recordings from “Ambient Type” Probes to create an engaging artefact in the form of a MIDI controller that controls a p5.js sketch, engaging users to create visual typographical compositions and ambient soundscapes through the manipulation of knobs and keys.
