Welcome to the Echoes of Youth, a multigenerational sound map featuring youth memories from throughout New York City, produced by Megan Hattie Stahl. Currently, there are 16 stories geolocated in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. These audio stories were submitted in response to a Spring 2023 open call for place-based memories in New York City's publicly accessible spaces. Participants were invited to record memories of their youth, defined here as between the ages of 15-24. Blue shapes overlaid on the black and grey map below indicated there is a story located there. Stories and their locations are also listed below. To launch the walk, press 'Stream Walk' or download the walk to the right. Make sure you allow GPS tracking permissions, and audio will play automatically when you walk into a blue zone. While listening, you can tap on each blue zone to view more information and a photo. Feel free to visit the locations in any order, as each story can stand alone. For more information and to sign up for updates about future open calls, please visit www.NYCaudiostories.space. Headphones recommended, but please stay aware of your surroundings while listening and take care when crossing the street! Kindly report any glitches or difficulties to Megan at meganhstahl@gmail.com.

Astoria Park is a very big park that has several trails and playgrounds. There are two bridges that are right above the park, which are Robert F. Kennedy Bridge and Hell Gate Bridge. The park is also right next to the East River. People do a lot of things in the park, such as jogging, walking themselves and dogs, biking, playing tennis, skateboarding and so on. So, one can easily find peace and energy at this park. I hope to express my feelings toward this park through the sound walk project

In the 1970, the South Bronx was abandoned by city government, nearly a half-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multi-ethnic neighborhood burned to the ground. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Puerto Rican residents bore the blame. These are audio excerpts from the film documentary "Decade of Fire" Bronx-born Vivian Vázquez Irizarry exposes the truth about the borough’s untold history and reveals how her community chose to resist, remain, and rebuild. Also here about the South Bronx's Hip-hop roots. Its foundations were being laid in the 1970s, brick by brick, by DJs in the South Bronx, sometimes even in burnt out or deteriorating buildings. These pioneers invented sampling (isolating one sound and reusing it in another song) and hip-hop's other key elements through trial and error, mostly by fooling around with records at home. DJ Kool Herc, a.k.a. Clive Campbell, laid the first building block of hip-hop down in 1973. That was when he reportedly hosted a party in his building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue with a sound system, or sound equipment used to DJ a party. Herc's sound system was a guitar amp and two turntables.
