Join historian and archivist Melinda Barrie as she takes you in the footsteps of Noel Counihan and the Brunswick free speech fight. From the theatres, factories and soap-boxes of Brunswick; to dissidents riding atop street-cars and locking themselves in cages to escape arrest. Brunswick was a place of mass mobilisation and dissent. Tour developed by Melinda Barrie, produced by Teishan Ahearne with Moreland City Libraries.

Explore the social and political history of Brunswick (Victoria, Australia) in the tumultuous years of the 1930s Depression. Join local historian Iain McIntyre to explore the collective organising of workers, families and residents in Brunswick as they fight for their survival. Audio recorded by Nicole Hurtubise, as part of the People's Tours of History project produced by Jane Curtis with 3CR Community Radio. http://peoplestour.net/ Echoes tour produced by Moreland City Libraries.

Going through the city, passing through busy traffic, waling without destination, lost in the modern world, full of anxiety and nervous, when everything getting out of order, all the things restart with belling of church in the distance, away from all the noise and chaos, finally comes to the deep realization of heart.

A soundscape that transforms your experience into a different location, evoking memories of now that's altered into a different future. Set at Building 100, Group 4 reimagines a familiar scene into one that differs from what you know right now.

Welcome to the Carlton Gardens Open Zoo where you are in the year 2120. Here you will discover new, old and familiar sounds and species on a fun and immersive journey. Walk around, don't be scared to interact with the animals! It is recommended that you wear headphones for this experience.

Thsi is a walk that is about providing a space for relaxation in the busy city of Melbourne. Most people in the city are stressed.......

When going our walk, listening to the soundscape, you are encouraged to pick up a book in the library and read it, trying to maintain focus and retain the information read. Studies and experiments have shown that listening to music, or being in the presence of sound, hinder retention of information during study, but increases mood and motivation. We wanted our soundscape to be a sensory experience to engage the audience in a physical act. The beginning of the soundscape exposes the viewer to a noisy environment, then morphs into upbeat music, before gradually quietening down to small, sparse noises. At the end of the soundscape, listeners should reflect on how well they were able to maintain focus under the different conditions presented, and if they were able to remember much of what they read. As you listen to our soundscape, you can imagine the journey of our individual experiences taking place as each soundscape flows into the next.
