Listening Between: There Here
This 15-20 minute street-level sound walk in Chatham High Street, Kent, combines live ambient sounds with slowed and real-time skylark recordings from a nearby riverside nesting site. The route passes The Brook and Military Road, featuring underwater River Medway audio captured by hydrophone, with headphones recommended for full effect.
THE RESCUE OF THE BENVENUE
Steven M Halliday’s historical sound walk from Folkestone Harbour to Sandgate, Kent, retraces the 1891 shipwreck of the full-rigged Benvenue. The 25-minute experience combines 3D sound design, narration, and music to narrate the dramatic rescue events.

‘sloopwild’ is a site-specific walking project created for the UNFIX Festival 2021, inviting participants to meander and drift without a map along the edges of Kent. It emphasizes listening to environmental sounds and experiencing boundaries through recorded solo walks called sloops.
