Embodied presence, sonority and movement

nothing in the area but a highway

This audio paper presents a conceptual audiovisual tour exploring Westerhoofd, an area northeast of Amsterdam’s A10 ring, through embodied counter-cartography and walking practices.

driftsinging

Drawing with (vocal) sound in response to place while passing through place. Driftsinging borrows from the Situationist Drift, and Baudelaire’s flâneur. Driftsinging also relates to the process of ‘sounding,’ the sonic measuring of distance and depth that locates position in place and ‘echo location’, the examination of place through sonic reflection and refraction, resonance and echo.
