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

Join in to listen to the sounds of the river on the the ferry.

I recorded everyday ambient sounds I heard while walking down the streets—snippets of people’s conversations as they passed by, the wind, the sound of water, and cars driving past. Over these sounds, I layered my own thoughts as I walked along those paths.

“Fae Road” is an augmented reality sound walk that follows your journey with a land spirit named “Fae”. Guided by her voice, you'll travel across the locales of South Brisbane to track down a number of "memories", helping Fae discover what happened to her home. This sound walk is an assessment piece created by Katrina Padernos for the 2993QCM Creative Audio course, Griffith University. The narrative centres around themes of urbanization and environmental degradation, powered by the listener’s imagination and brought to life with audio recordings depicting scenes across five different main locations. Each scene acts as a brief memory Fae shares, describing what the landscape would have been like in a faraway time.
