Soundwalk is a silent experience open to an individual or collective journey.
Soundwalk will invite you to imagine sounds of the past, present, and future that are heard internally and externally to our ears.
Soundwalk is rooted in deep listening and re-attuning our aural awareness through opening our ears to the activities in the soundscape.
The event will begin and end with soundmaking acts enacted by the performers of Virago; Sofia Carbonara (percussion), Wesley Hornpetrie (cello), BethAnne Kunert (saxophone), and Meg Rohrer (violin/viola).
Participants will be invited to join the soundmaking at the final soundmaking act.
The event will conclude with an open dialogue for participants to share their listening experiences.

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.
