An audio tour of historically Black neighborhoods across four cities in Virginia.

This sound walk through an imaginary castle can be performed at any 'heritage' site. The guide challenges how visitors experience the prompts of historical interpretation by adding layers of imagined history that are mysterious and arbitrary. The style imitates conventional interpretive audio guides, before revealing a narrative that is non-didactic, destabilizing, weird and comical. I made space for class commentary and for including the more-than-human. This audio was mostly improvised while walking and slightly refined afterwards. It was then recorded at five different sites, including two Norman ruined castles, one in England and one in Wales and a Neolithic burial chamber. You may begin this walk anywhere. It is intended to take 25-45 minutes.

‘Along The Lines’ is an immersive mobile soundwalk exploring Brighton’s laundry heritage. Designed and recorded by sound artist and researcher Anna Celeste Edmonds, in collaboration with charity Quiet Down. This project was funded by the Heritage Lottery, and is accessible on Echoes and the artist’s website.

‘Hulked’ began life as a creative heritage project funded by Creative Estuary in 2022 bringing sound artist Anna Braithwaite, writer and academic Jeremy Scott and mariner Ed Gransden together to research and tell the memories, tales and music of the Thames Barges. Thanks to successful Arts Council Funding, Hulked continued into 2024 with the launch of the soundwalk supported by a year-long series of focus days celebrating different aspects of the project including heritage, environment and technology.
