‘Landscapes shimmer when they gather rhythms shared across varied forms of life’ (Tsing et al. 2017)
This sound walk guides you through Peel Park, in Salford UK, opening up its past ecologies and present growth through sound and song to bring you into a closer relationship with the trees, plants and wild, weedy beings that live here, and the shimmering rhythms happening between them.
To access the sound walk:
1. Download the free Echoes application to your smartphone/mobile device and make sure that you allow Echoes to access your location when the app is running
2. Follow this link to access the walk
3. Download the walk at home before you head to the starting location, which is at the benches above Peel Park and behind the Salford Museum and Art Gallery (see walk description in Echoes)

The walk is step-free and suitable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, but does include some invitations to leave the paths and travel over more grassy and uneven ground.
