Highlights
Balade avec Rimbô
This French-language, site-specific sound walk novel set in La Romieu combines soundscapes, musical compositions, and digital illustrations triggered by proximity to relevant locations in the village. Created using the Ojoo platform, it features texts by Christian Porre, soundscapes and drawings by Stefaan, and media walk design by Geert Vermeire, and was presented during Sound Walk Sunday 2017 with plans for an extended version in 2019.
Sometimes We Wake
Sometimes We Wake is a self-guided sound walk in Belfast’s Palm House, reflecting on a 2009 music performance by Richard Davis and exploring themes of queer expression linked to local writer Forrest Reid. The walk incorporates Reid’s 1920s text displayed in the Palm House and will launch on September 1st with a live performance of the featured songs.
Blind walk/White walk
Blind Walk / White Walk is a bilingual (Greek/English) sound and live performance walk in Athens inspired by José Saramago's novel Blindness and the blind prophet Tiresias from Homer’s poetry. The route, between Theater Technis in Plaka and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus near the Acropolis, features immersive sound triggered via mobile devices alongside live actors, with contributions from Geert Vermeire, Stefaan van Biesen, and others.
Continuing the journey of the Tortoise and the spider
In 2017, Ros Bandt and Geert Vermeire created "The Tortoise and the Spider," a collaborative sound walk performance involving dancers connected by strings and portable speakers, forming a giant illuminated human harp played during a night walk starting at Parnassos Mountain in Delphi, Greece. The project's instruments traveled globally for performances integrating locative media, with the collaboration continuing through 2019 in locations including Athens, Vienna, and Melbourne.
Vent Mapping
Vent Mapping is a series of audio and video recordings of vents in the Montreal neighbourhood I live in. The trajectory between vents, while walking, were traced and turned into a map. The recordings are played together as if a ventilating orchestra.
Sonic Origami
Invented by the performer and musician Ana Berkenhoff it is a live experience that transforms the visual of a place into audio. The audience and the performer walk together through an area. The audience will hear a mix of recordings (from the place) and live singing about what is there to see.
