Stop, Walk, and Listen - An Expansive Mobile Aural Experience

Date: April 11th, 2012 (Wednesday)
Time: Any 35-minute slot within 12pm-2pm. Last "admission" is 1.15pm.
Location: Accolade East Building, York University, Toronto.

For my 4th-year self-directed study "Sound and Music: Beyond Categories", I'm presenting this soundwalk project which incorporates installations, performances, and interactive moments. It will be about slowing down your footsteps, taking your time to experience different perspectives, and, of course, having FUN. My supervisors are Marc Couroux and Casey Sokol.

The main objective of this project is to create an interesting mobile listening experience for the participants to discover in-depth and opened perspectives about sound and music. What are the relationships between sound and music? What makes them different and what makes them similar? What happens when sound becomes musical, and music becomes sound?

Please come to the lobby (first floor, you will see a wide space) of ACE building with your mobile listening devices (with earbuds) loaded with given tracks. You can download the tracks here. When you're at the reception desk at the lobby, you will be given a handout with instructions, then you're set!

The walk is 35 minutes. Suggested duration is 40-45 minutes, because I would love everyone to take their time and slowly experience. Come anytime between 12pm-2pm, latest 1.15pm so that you can finish the walk on time.

Please look forward to some beautiful soundscapes, vocal improvisation performance by me, classical piano performance by Dandan Mao, expressive music, pop stuff, jazz groove, and more!

Don't forget to download the tracks, load them onto your device, and bring them along (with earbuds!)!!

Comment if you have any questions/concerns. Hope to see you all there! Come and have fun listening and walking!
