Sound walk

Riverfront Park Soundwalk is a site-specific, 20-minute artist audio walking tour of Troy, New York‘s waterways. It is a past, present, and future overview based on sound artist Andrea Williams’ historical and environmental research and interviews from 2014-2015 with Troy residents and water experts. Musical elements, soundscapes and the actual environment intermingle in this soundwalk that is one of seven destinations that are part of the overall Troy Waterways Project. During tours throughout the year led by the artist, at the end of the Riverfront Park Soundwalk, participants can share a dialogue together on their personal connection with the river or other local waterways and visions of the future of the Hudson River in Troy that will be posted on the project website.

stroam

Do you like to stroll? Are you a fan of roaming? Then you should give stroaming a try. This is a word blend, just like brunch. In her 1796 novel Camilla, Frances Burney described a character who “stroamed into the ball-room, with the most visible marks of his unfitness for appearing in it.” The OED indicates that stroaming involves “long strides” and/or idleness, so watch your form and attitude when out on a stroam.
