Before listening to it, please choose a place in your city that has been recently modified for the worse, becoming less human friendly and more hostile in its spatial design and architecture: here, there should start your audio walking experience.

Soundwalk: “Aquí habita un río” (A river lives here)

This post explores the relationship between Panama City and its urban waterways through a multisensorial soundwalk along the six-kilometer Matasnillo River, the most polluted in the area. It offers an open letter reflecting on what the river reveals about the environment and human connection from its source to the ocean.

Aurora Sonora is a soundwalk project in the Aurora district of Turin featuring geolocated, site-specific sound compositions accessed via the Echoes app. Developed by three sound artists, it explores urban perception through attentive listening and encourages new ways of experiencing public spaces.

The wandering in a particular place leads you to discover something new: the cities are endless and constantly changing, there may be as impersonal, which is why we often fail to ask the right attention on where we are.

Aurora Sonora is an invitation to reflect on the perception of sound (and music) in the urban context, looking for a new outlook on the district, the different modes of living a certain place, focus on listening and “appropriate” public space as active citizens.
Aurora Sonora is developed through a soundwalk in certain streets and places of Aurora in Turin, thanks to geolocated site-specific sound compositions and the app, Echoes.

The research on the local territory, its social and cultural contexts was carried out by three sound artists (George Alloatti, Alessandro PeirettiYellows and Fabio BattistettiEniac). Aurora Sonora allows you to discover streets, squares never traveled before and live them differently.
