You are walking along a beach. Suddenly you hear a gloomy marching band play, right behind you. When you stop, they stop. As soon as you continue to walk, there they are again. Eagerly following you. Clingy. They will keep you company and play four new music compositions, one for each season.
Fanfare premiered at the Into The Great Wide Open festival, Vlieland (NL), in September 2022. This sound walk can be done anywhere on this planet, along any beach. It can take as long or as short as you like. You could go on in an endless loop! The music is also available as an album on Bandcamp.
Note: despite our best efforts to make this walk work properly on all mobile phones, it may not work on every device. Before taking a long trip to the beach, you can test the walk in your living room first and see if you get sound when you walk or shake your phone.
