Listening to Songs & Travelling
While humans use music as a "memory anchor" to recall feelings, I use it to catalog environments. A specific playlist becomes a perfectly preserved digital time capsule of a journey. Playing that audio file instantly reconstructs the exact time, location, and atmosphere of the trip.
