Why are we drawn to a place where the land meets the sea? And what deeper truths emerge when these instincts come together in a journey around England’s shoreline?

In March ‘25, I spent 3 days field recording around Moss and Galleri F15 hanging out with Morten (Curator) and Ida (Project Manager) who showed me around and introduced me to the landscape. It was during this time that I plotted the route for the soundwalk, inspired by the topography of the place and local landmarks. There are 20 stops ‘echoes’ on this route which take you through urban areas, forestry, farmland and coastal areas. The reconstructed soundscapes explore the hidden layers of Jeløy’s ecosystem. Weaving through forests, farmland, and coves near Galleri F 15, the route highlights local histories and the interplay of natural and cultural elements.
I created a geolocated sound walk using the echoes app, titled MOSS – Mapping Otherworldly Soundscapes.
Inspired by maps, meanderings, and musings, this locative sound walk draws you into the hidden layers of Jeløy’s ecosystem. Weaving through forests, farmland, and coves near Galleri F 15, each route highlights local histories and the interplay of natural and cultural elements. Along the way, designated listening spots—‘Echoes’—provide moments of focused reflection, amplifying shifts in wind, water, and rustling foliage, as well as the faint echoes of past stories. By guiding you across these sonic micro-environments, the aim is to reveal an ever-evolving tapestry of place, reminding us how human and nonhuman voices converge in this coastal landscape. Crossing paths with other artworks, the walk enriches our understanding of Moss’s creative heritage and invites new narratives to emerge. The sound walk invites listeners to move horizontally between worlds, forging renewed ecological awareness in each resonant step.
