I study the soundscapes of Orthodox Christian worship in my doctoral research. I am interested in the experiences of the participants of worship and the contexts in which the soundscapes are formed and experienced. During my ethnographic fieldwork, I have formed an extensive collection of audio recordings of Orthodox Christian worship in Finland and research interviews to be archived.
