Shorelands by Laura Campbell. Welcome to the Echoes geolocated augmented audio version of Shorelands - a series of 9 text scores created and composed to guide audiences in exploring, listening and performing with the natural sounds and sonic characteristics associated with the Isle of Bute coastline, from Port Bannatyne to Craigmore (Montford Terrace). Starting at Port Bannatyne shelter (opposite The Anchor pub,Isle of Bute PA20 0LL) immerse yourself in the natural soundscapes stopping to listen, respond, improvise and perform at 9 sheltered spots. Time: take as long as you want (Walk, bike, bus, car). Distance: 3.4 miles  Terrain: mostly flat, some uneven grass surfaces and gravel. Please ensure you are in a safe position before listening to each score. Standing and sitting in the seaside shelters is a suggestion. -------------------------- Instructions To listen and interact with the Shorlands walk, we recommend you download Shorelands prior to the walk rather than stream as this may use data and you may be be charged. Choose 'audio quality basic or premium ' option for free, premium is better quality. The walk is triggered by your location and physical movements, your phone will use its GPS to locate where you are and trigger the audio when you are within each blue sound zone along the route. Choose Autoplay by choosing the lines at the top right of the screen and playing each score at each location. Designed to be experienced using headphones. ------------------------------------- Feedback: This project is part of my wider PhD project into how creative and musical interventions can encourage new modes of listening to our environment - I am hoping to to create a new collaborative score composed from shared responses to the soundscape along the Isle of Bute coastline. Please visit linktr.ee/shorelands to offer your feedback and collaborate. Thanks to IBAC, The Anchor Hub, Adam Sloan, Will Plowman.

From January to July 2021, Tricky Hat worked with people living in Partick East and Kelvindale to gather their tales and memories of the area and transform this into an audio journey. Round Our Place is an exploration of places filled with voices, visions, dreams and memories. We invite you to plug in your headphones and lose yourself in these sounds and stories as you follow the route. Pick up a free map from The Alchemy Experiment,157 Byres Road. Location 1 on the route and enjoy the walk. This was created as part of the Creative Communities: Artists in Residence is a citywide project for Glasgow, employing an artist in residence for every community.

Round Our Place 2023 is a Sound Walk created by Tricky Hat, in collaboration with groups and individuals who live and work in the North West area of Glasgow. From November 2023 to August 2023 we worked on this phase of Round Our Place as part of Glasgow Life: Artists in Communities and 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships. Collected stories of love, challenges and triumphs, favourite places, water and communities standing up for what they believe in. Take a pair of earphones and your smartphone, turn on your GPS, and follow the route.

This edifice is a cultural landmark in Glasgow. Located in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Scotland’s most beloved and iconic institutions. Opened in 1901, the museum is housed in a stunning red sandstone building designed in the Spanish Baroque style, with grand spires and an imposing façade that mirrors the city’s industrial-era confidence and architectural grandeur. Stunning architecture and a historic, family-friendly space. Beautiful! Wonderful!
