The purpose of this walkshop is to create a soundwalk conversation between two people geolocated in different places. We want to raise awareness of the richness of sounds that are generated in our daily environment and promote consciousness of how lively our planet is.
Instructions:
The project will be conducted online. All participants will be distributed in pairs.
They will agree on a time and day to take the soundwalk together.
Using their phones to record the sounds and WhatsApp to send them, they will go on a 15-30′ walk, and send to each other the sounds that call their attention. They can add their voice (tell a story, whisper a word,… ) or make sounds by touching objects.
At the end of the walkshop we will make a composition of each soundwalk conversation and upload it to the conference webpage.
