This post introduces a mobile audio tour of Greenwich Village, New York City, highlighting its role as the center of the 1960s countercultural movement. The tour covers key historical events such as the Arch Conspirators' secret meetings and the Stonewall riots, offering an immersive self-guided experience via the Gesso app.

The epicenter of New York City’s 1960s countercultural movement, the nonconforming tree-lined streets of Greenwich Village attracted nonconforming residents.

A fully immersive, mobile audio tour through the streets of Greenwich Village, a place that once was a sort of Bohemia, a crucible for art, community, and rebellion. From the secret meetings of the Arch Conspirators to the riots at the Stonewall Inn, see Greenwich Village through a whole new lens.

Download the Gesso app for the best experience including an interactive map and autoplay feature for self-guided walks.

driftsinging

Drawing with (vocal) sound in response to place while passing through place. Driftsinging borrows from the Situationist Drift, and Baudelaire’s flâneur. Driftsinging also relates to the process of ‘sounding,’ the sonic measuring of distance and depth that locates position in place and ‘echo location’, the examination of place through sonic reflection and refraction, resonance and echo.
