Flyways

The Flyways sound walk at Flushing Meadows Park, part of the STEP Saunter, Trek, Escort, Parade exhibition at Queens Museum, explores dragonfly flight patterns through an artistic fusion of soundscapes and visual waves. Created by Stefaan Van Biesen with literary texts by Simona Vermeire, the walk uses cymatic music and locative media to engage participants in experiencing the resonance and spatial dynamics of flight.

Sound walk
This post features a soundscape created from recordings made during a silent public walk through the Community Gardens of West Walworth, led by artist Jane Scobie and organised by the Walworth Community Gardens Network as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival. The 50-minute walk involved 20 participants who experienced and reflected on the ambient sounds in silence, accompanied by a podcast including an introductory talk, group discussion, and a poem written during the walk.

Soundscape recorded during a silent public walk through the Community Gardens of West Walworth led by artist Jane Scobie, organised by Walworth Community Gardens Network as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival. 20 participants walked in silence for about 50 minutes and the soundscape was produce from recordings taken during the walk. Walking in silence was a strange experience for the participants but once they grew accustomed to it they were surprised by the range of sounds and the feelings they evoked. You can listen to a podcast of the introductory talk and post walk discussion – including a brilliant poem written by Tim Richardson during the walk.
