Join composer and sound artist Alice Boyd on a walk through Feanedock, exploring the sounds of the National Forest.
From birdsong to underwater insects, to plants photosynthesising, come and experience the landscape in a completely new way. We will be focussing on the practice of Deep Listening, broadening our awareness of sound and creating a deeper connection with the world around us.
Alice’s work uses voice, everyday sounds and electronic textures to tell stories about the world around us. Much of her work explores our relationship with the natural world. Each month, Alice travels to a new place in the UK to collect field recordings for Ffern’s podcast ‘As The Season Turns’. She has also recently released her debut EP ‘From The Understory’, created as part of her artist residency at the Eden Project – the world’s largest indoor rainforest.

Squatting and Common Land in Hackney
What has encouraged the rise in squatting today – what are the political, economic and legislative currents that encouraged this, and what is the impact of squatting not just in its immediate locale, but also across our collective culture? Who should care if it is on the increase? All this and much more was revelaed in Melissa Bliss’ Squatting and the Common Land walk co-produced by Andrew Stuck at the Museum of Walking.

Musian : Composer : Teacher : Writer Through listening walks, I observe the coalescence of elemental difference — Light to water, water to land, the soil/ mycelium to trees, the minerals and species of the ocean floor in the dark, to the surface wave patterns of water, illuminated by subaqueous light. Through attunement to the currents and wave patterns water, I experience an expression of time, and a sonic ontology of water. I offer listening walks and deep listening sonic experiences, compose intermedia works, to draw experiential sensory awareness to the ocean this planet is. My practice is a reciprocal devotion to water. I am beginning new research in collaboration with filmmaker Philippe Léonard at the place in the Fleuve St Laurent where saline water transforms to fresh water, and beings live in both worlds.
