Further Adventures in Deep Canine Topography: Attending to Rhythm and Reptition

This project presents a sonically enhanced walking experience that captures the urban soundscape of canine-human walks in Leicester, UK, recorded in January and March 2020 during Covid-19 lockdown. Using binaural microphones positioned near the dog, the recordings explore rhythms of human-canine movement and changes in neighborhood sonics, framed through Henri Lefebvre’s Rhythmanalysis.

Over 50 days, Simpson scouted the passage and recorded ambient sounds of the wilderness, including streams, wildlife, and hiking activities, which are available as a free sound collage on SoundCloud.

walking it

The SoundCloud profile "Walking It" features a curated collection of ambient and field recordings designed to enhance the experience of walking in urban and natural environments. The audio tracks emphasize the relationship between soundscapes and spatial awareness, capturing diverse acoustic atmospheres that range from quiet city streets to natural wilderness. This collection offers listeners an immersive auditory exploration of place, encouraging an attentive engagement with the sonic textures that define different walking routes. In addition to standalone soundscapes, "Walking It" includes experimental compositions that blend environmental sounds with minimal electronic elements, reflecting contemporary approaches in walking art practice. The recordings invite reflection on the interplay between movement, environment, and sound perception, aligning with cultural geography themes that consider how auditory experiences shape our understanding of place and mobility. Through this focus on walking as a method of experiencing and interpreting landscape, the profile contributes to the discourse on walking as an artistic and spatial practice.
