Summary/Abstract: In March 2019 I was invited by pianist and radio host Guy Livingstone to take part in what he referred to as ‘an architecture and law symposium’. I had met Guy not long before that after he contacted me through a mutual friend. He was interested in my views on music in relation to space, which would be the subject of his PhD at Leiden University. The interrelationship between sound, music, space and time had been a subject of my studies as a composer and a sound designer. Besides my work as a composer, I have experience as an Urban Sound Designer, which involves the sound of cities and public space. Guy had taken residence in the former American Embassy in The Hague as part of an interdisciplinary group of (international) lawyers and artists. The combination of art and law was remarkable and interesting. As a subject for the symposium, however, it kept me puzzled and I did not know what to make of it. I had trouble to see a role for myself from my experience and expertise. A further contact put things in a different perspective.
