Visit my Soundwalk Experience post for more details and stay tuned for more soundwalk opportunities!
We recently had an amazing soundwalk as part of the (abstract)URGE exhibition at RAW Space. After a brief discussion about ways of listening we ventured out onto Old Dixie for a sonic adventure. Here are just a few of the sounds we heard. It’s amazing how the ordinary can reveal the extraordinary when you are still and listening.
I invite you into our experience. Headphones recommended to get the full stereo effect.
Not looking for good sounds or bad sounds, just listening and noticing what you perceive. Notice how some sounds might attract you while others repel you.
