What a lovely idea.
'When was the last time you went somewhere just to hear the sounds?' asks Melbourne-based sound artist Anthony Magen. The sound walk is a simple exercise. It is free! It requires no additional paraphernalia other than your ears and some walking shoes. There is only one rule: no communication within the group. Talking or otherwise. This helps to allow the sounds to become the focus. Magen is the facilitator of our sound walk. A chance to walk through the streets of Sydney and experience the diverse sounds it has to offer.
I do it without realizing what I'm doing. Though not with a group. I do it when I'm walking the dogs in the Adelaide Parklands.
The quote is from an article in Cyclic Defrost, issue 14 July 2006:
cover design Traianos Pakioufakis
The design is based a photograph taken by Pakioufakis on Murray Street in Perth in winter last year.
