This soundwalk uses oral histories and 360-degree binaural audio to explore the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art’s archive, highlighting migrant experiences and cultural memories in Manchester’s Chinatown. By triggering geolocated sounds and interview clips via GPS, listeners can immerse themselves in the area’s hidden histories through their smartphones and headphones.
Blind walk/White walk
Blind Walk / White Walk is a bilingual (Greek/English) sound and live performance walk in Athens inspired by José Saramago's novel Blindness and the blind prophet Tiresias from Homer’s poetry. The route, between Theater Technis in Plaka and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus near the Acropolis, features immersive sound triggered via mobile devices alongside live actors, with contributions from Geert Vermeire, Stefaan van Biesen, and others.

An 18-minute stereo sound walk for a (preferably snowy) field north of Hebden Bridge, UK. Includes sound recordings from the field itself and from Heptonstall graveyard, along with a swirling snowstorm of ambient drones and chopped and screwed 1980s pop loops (this is the A major version). The spoken word monologue connects Leon Trotsky, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Ian Curtis, comic Russ Abbot, and artist Paul Rooney’s 1990s band Rooney, who’s singer Dermot Bucknall, and his disturbing ‘performance’ at a music gig in the Calder Valley, brings together many aspects of the piece in a darkly comic, ambiguous moment.
The work is structured around a description of photographer Charlie Meecham taking a photograph of the snowy field in question for a TV documentary. The photograph was later chosen by Joy Division and Peter Saville to adorn the cover of the 12″ single Atmosphere.
Thanks to Daniel Meadows, Charlie Meecham, Paul Rooney and Steve Fortune. More information here.
