walking through museums – Post-
If we haven’t gone to a museum together, I probably don’t like you very much. This isn’t to say anything against you—I’m sure I’m the problem in our potential relationship. It’s just that, at this point, I feel like I’ve gone to a museum with everyone I know—so many people, in fact, that I feel
March First Sunday
First Sunday, This Sunday and so the perfect time for some curious, collective wanders exploring Manchester #psychogeography. Find us 2pm 1.3.20 in Sackville Gardens near the Turing statue. All welcome + free because the streets belong to everyone. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or need more info. The pace + direction is made up as we go along..... We'll leave the park at 2.15 and see where the fancy takes us, having a blether and a brew at the end to share stories. I hope to see you on the streets xx

Fiona’s Dark Moon write-up
Fiona has written up her thoughts about Sunday's Dark Moon Walking night walk through the parks and along the canal in Bournville. She's structured it as a series of questions. 4. Why a night walk? Because walking at night is otherworldly and comes with a sense of the forbidden. Green spaces, such as parks, canals and […]

PAS – Parcours Audio Sensibles et Points d’ouïe, vers des territoires élargis
Durant des années, l’écriture et la pratique de PAS – Parcours Audio Sensibles ont été essentiellement liées, en ce qui me concerne, à des approches esthétiques et écologiques, notamment dans la construction de paysages sonores et de points d’ouïe partagés. Ces marchécoutes collectives s’appuyaient, et d’ailleurs s’appuient encore, sur des notions de paysage/musique et d’écologie … Continuer à lire ...

Footnotes – a YouTube Channel
