Ted The Mole in the Touristed City

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.

The Unfamiliar City in Christina Kubisch’s Five Electrical Walks

This paper analyzes Christina Kubisch's Five Electrical Walks, a sound art piece where participants use special headphones to hear electromagnetic waves from urban electric sources. It explores the work’s dual revelation of the city as both an unexpectedly musical organic system and an alien, inorganic soundscape, accompanied by an audio presentation featuring guided walks and synthesized sound examples in multiple languages.

"I Don’t Remember Me The Rain" is a sound walk created during Sound Walk September 2020 in Sint-Niklaas, reconstructing a past journey through a blend of urban and natural sounds and personal memories. The piece serves as a tribute to a late artist friend and reflects on themes of memory, transience, and the observational role of walking in artistic practice.

I Don’t Remember Me The Rain, a walking piece for Sound Walk September 2020

Sint-Niklaas 04.09.2020. The soundscape ‘I Don’t Remember Me The Rain’ is the result of a walk during a route that I accidentally walked again recently in Sint-Niklaas. It is a subjective reconstruction of a journey that took place in this city years ago.

This sound composition, (a mix of urban and natural sounds), contains memories of conversations and events that took place at the time. Exchanges of views with an artist friend who recently passed away, during this time of the Corona. It is a silent homage to the transitory, to the beauty of friendship, to the sweet melancholy that autumn brings us.

The title is a reference to the fading of the past, but it is also an attempt to hold on to memories, to return to that one day by means of a walk. A walk as a tribute to a beloved walker who walks on in our thoughts.

I consider myself an artistic flaneur who sees walking as an instrument for observation and knowledge, a way for a better understanding of the world or our environment. Starting from this, all kinds of artworks are created with a multidisciplinary attitude.
