Waves of Change - Etruria Industrial Museum

A walk of wetland soundscapes featuring history, recordings of wildlife, water and trees, poetry and local memories of life on the lowland peatbog of Fenn's and Whixall Mosses. Artists Andrew Howe (UK) and Kim V. Goldsmith (AUS) connect two internationally significant wetlands by bringing sounds from the Macquarie Marshes, New South Wales, Australia into the Fenn's and Whixall and Bettisfield Mosses National Nature Reserve. The soundscapes are best experienced through headphones via smartphone. This is part of the Mosses and Marshes art project supported by the National Lottery and Arts Council for England and delivered by Andrew Howe and Kim V. Goldsmith working in partnership with Shropshire Wildlife Trust and Natural England. The Sound Trail starts from the Morris Bridge car park at Whixall Moss (SJ 493354 SY13 2RT) and links with part of the Fenn's and Whixall Mosses History Trail. It can also be accessed from the Shed Yard car park (SJ 50353681, SY13 2PD) and Roundthorn Bridge car park (SJ 505360). The trail is approximately 3 miles long and will take about 2 hours to walk. The paths are well marked, level and easy to walk but often wet and boggy so wear wellingtons or sturdy footwear.

This soundwalk is a sonic excavation of the former Stockport Power Station site. It was co-created with Stockport Communites. Some of the questions we explored through the process of creating our walk included: How do we make art about the environment in a toxic world? What do fungi teach us about cleaning-up polluted landscapes? What is the difference between the types of repair we already have and the decolonial cleaning that is needed?

If you go down to the woods today, something magical will be waiting for you...

Come and meet the characters of UK folklore, from the gentle Dun Cow to the deadly Jenny Greenteeth, and let the poems and illustrations accompany you as you walk through the Other Folk's world.

GeoTone CIC is an arts and technology social enterprise with a mission to create and share innovative audio experiences with people who are disadvantaged, disabled, elderly, or living in remote locations. We've spent time at Gatis Community Space, working with them over the summer to find out about the people who use the space and about the area. Our tactic was to make a nuisance of ourselves. We started off by interviewing everyone we could, asking them who they were and what Whitmore Reans means to them. We didn't know what to expect, but what we found were people with an extraordinary range of experiences and backgrounds. We met a violinist and entrepreneur in the making, a volunteer with multiple degrees, a gardener getting back on their feet, a sci-fi horror expert, a refugee whose passion is human connection and african jazz. They were all part of one community where they gave their time and energy to one another, making things happen. Everything we recorded at Gatis has been put together for the Whitmore Reans Re-mapped audio walk, which takes you around the building and on our journey through this part of our world. We also worked with people to contribute to one of Gatis's big projects, their Lantern Walk. It's an opportunity to bring people together and create a magical night. We decided that the Lanterns could be a character, and that the walk could tell a story that comes from Whitmore Reans. With the youth club and at drop-in sessions we created character biographies, stories, sound effects as well as recording songs and electronic music to help create a local folklore for the Lantern Parade. To carry on the conversation on the days we weren't there we also installed our red telephone box, with the help of Gatis, as well as James Townend and Tom Morgan. We wanted to make a quiet, private space where people reflect on where they live, and imagine how it might be different.
