Walking Compositions // Home

Walking Compositions is a Site Specific sound walk around the Hermitage of Braid a Natural Reserve in the middle of Edinburgh, (Scotland).

The project aims to generate a sound based experience between the listener and the environment where the walk is done. Moreover this project aims to explore the concept of soundscape composition and its posibilities of distribution and displaying.

Walking Compositions pretends to be an experiment on how GPS technologies can be implemented in the field of music and sound distribution.

And finally its a subjective sonic approach on the way we see the landscape and how can we create synesthetic relations between landscape and sound.

"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks"

John Muir

"Art as a formal and holistic description of the real space and experience of landscape and its most elemental materials."

Richard Long, 2000

"The path as a timeline, or a line that evolves subtly and grows slowly following the rhythm of footsteps. The path as a narration of the landscape."
