In a physical world, every space and place sounds and resounds, a sonic effect resulting from the interaction of source and sound. Some of these sounds are enacted due to human interaction with objects, while others are consciously reproduced through the acoustic transmission of mutual interaction of magnetic fields. These fields are increasingly present in the environment due to the active development of wireless technology, emission of electronic waste, and constant connectivity in our environments. Focusing on the attention to these environmental, psychological, and social implications of electromagnetic waves, an auditory derivé through silent and noisy spaces in Nairobi are recorded. These constant fluxes of invisible, silent waves of open cables, electronic dump sites, and homes inhabited by people in these places are sequenced and fused into an unseen sonic impression of these sound waves and amplifying them. ‘As Nature’ brings foreground field recordings and electromagnetic sounds from Nairobi, reflecting upon the effects of these noises on the inhabitants of the place.
