Drawing from practices in oral history and historiographical cartography, JL has collaborated with listeners on streets and sidewalks around the world. Their work has been generously supported by Art Basel Miami, On Air Fest, Roulette Intermedium, the Estate of Pauline Oliveros, the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology, and the Great Lakes Association of Sound Studies among others.
