Hydrology explores the diverse sonic properties of aquatic ecosystems that cover over 70% of Earth’s surface. The sounds have been recorded using hydrophones (underwater microphones) in freshwater and marine ecosystems across the planet. The featured soundscapes include snapping shrimp on coastal reefs in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve of Mexico, melting ice in Norway’s Kvina River and Humpback Whales along the Queensland coastline.

River Listening reimagines the world beneath the surface of the Brisbane River. The sounds of the river system are layered with creative responses that connect to river systems across the world. This sound walk is part of an interdisciplinary project exploring the art and science of listening to rivers and the creative possibilities of aquatic ecoacoustics. River Listening is a collaboration between the Australian Rivers Institute and the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre with support from the Australian Network for Art and Technology through the Synapse program. Launching for World Science Festival Brisbane 2017, the South Bank Augmented Reality Sound Walks use GPS points along the Brisbane River to trigger audio based on location and movement. Walk towards the points on the River Listening map and the sounds will play automatically when you are in the right locations. River Listening is best experienced with headphones. The augmented reality sound walks for World Science Festival Brisbane have been developed by Leah Barclay as part of 100 Ways to Listen (100waystolisten.com) Tweet @LeahBarclay or #RiverListening for further information. #100xListen #WSFB2017

This is an guided walk for listeners interested in the wildlife that live at Southbank

What does time feel like in other parts of the world? Do you often wonder what’s happening half-way across the world right now? We’re sharing this moment, right now, just at different times, simultaneously. 10am is a sound walk which explores the experience of sharing a moment of time. Starting at 10am in Southbank, Brisbane’s cultural heart, experience what time is like in other places, whilst you walk through your own experience of time in the beautiful natural surrounds. Like walking in someone else’s shoes, walk through and appreciate how they experience a moment in time.

A sound walk that will take you along the river-walk of Southbank while mimicking the experience of a creature exhibit, featuring creatures from the world of Harry Potter. Cassandra Sherwin s5134732
