Wander with open ears and listen with your feet on a soundwalk that illuminates the intricacies of urban ambience 

Being a better listener can help with all facets of life. Soundwalks are a simple acoustic ecology practice that helps you tune into your surroundings and be more attentive of the world around you. There are no hard and fast rules, only one simple direction: don’t talk or communicate while sound-walking. Commit to sixty minutes of dedicated listening as you wander between park and urban spaces, with a few surprises along the way. Loop back, and you’ll have the chance to unpack the experience together, as a group. Open ears required.

Anthony Magen is a Landscape Architect and Acoustic Ecologist navigating the ecotones of culture. This navigation is facilitated through the construction of the built environment in a professional capacity, through pedagogy, soundwalking as an active artistic practice and an ongoing commitment to the presentation of neorealist abstractions in ‘live’ situations, small-scale interventions, audiovisual installations and photographic presentations facilitated throughout Australia.
