Presentation of the new TRACKS APP

Soundtrackcity has the pleasure of inviting you to the presentation of the brand new audio app TRACKS on 15 June at 2pm at CC Amstel in Amsterdam. Book now, the number of places is limited.

TRACKS lets you discover the (un)heard stories of Amsterdam with more than 20 artistic audio walks, wherever and whenever you want. Listen to the different languages on Nieuwmarkt, go on a musical voyage of discovery along the buildings of the Amsterdam School, hear the voices of residents from Istanbul on the ferry from NDSM wharf to Central Station or discover the stories of the residents along the Amstel river.

We would like to invite you to celebrate the launch of TRACKS with us. During the event, we will give an introduction to the app and go outside to listen together to a fascinating selection of audio walks in Amsterdam South.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
