exploring the role of sound and listening in natural and cultural environments
This summer we had an array of thematic soundwalks led by our wonderfully talented team of teaching artists. All soundwalks were supported by fellow NOITP program, Inferno Mobile Recording Studio.
Join your neighbors in soundwalks with Chicago teaching artists for a unique outdoor experience in our sound environment as a listener and performer of your soundscape
Amanda Gutierrez produced this short video document to help answer a frequently asked question, What is a soundwalk?
The Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology’s Soundwalks in the Parks series continues in Chicago through October, November, and December. Free and open to the public and for all ages; they are led by teaching artists Amanda Gutierrez, Norman W. Long, and me, Eric Leonardson, thank to the support and partnership of the Chicago Park District’s Night Out In The Parks arts and culture program.
Please join us and experience your Chicago soundscape, and answer the frequently asked question, “What is a soundwalk?” for yourself.
