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 Peiretti – Yellows and Fabio Battistetti – Eniac). Aurora Sonora allows you to discover streets, squares never traveled before and live them differently.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
