Creative Audio Assignment 2

This walk is designed to simulate a prehistoric river where small dinosaur packs, mosquitos and flying creatures gather

WHY LISTEN TO PLANTS? A plant knows and makes worlds. It communicates. https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/a-plant-is-a-community When we regard a plant, we usu­ally only see what’s above the sur­face: stems, trunks, branches, leaves, buds and flow­ers. But there’s so much more below ground – intri­cate nets of roots, radi­cles and fungal bodies through which water, nutri­ents, knowl­edge and com­mu­nity flows. Plants are always con­nected, always talk­ing and lis­ten­ing to each other, even in the most con­structed of land­scapes. A plant knows and makes worlds; it is always in com­mu­ni­ca­tion with others. Through root-lis­ten­ing, through prac­tices of shar­ing words, time — and seeds — can we cul­ti­vate a veg­etable-based con­scious­ness? This augmented reality sound walk uses Leah Barclay’s recordings from beneath the surface of the soil to explore the acoustic ecology of plants in response to Monica Gagliano’s new book ‘Thus Spoke the Plant’ (North Atlantic Books; released Novem­ber 13, 2018).

Take a light stroll through peaceful Sherwood. Past horses and listening to birds sing, you can find your own little paradise for you and your four legged friend at the Dog Park

A short walk along a short part of Sir Fred Schonell Drive. Ambient sounds simulate what it's like to walk along here.

The pleasant sound when you are bored.

'Voices of Nature 2020' brings together acoustic ecology and visual art communities to explore ways of representing nature’s voice(s). The exhibition is part of the biennial Rights of Nature week, hosted by the Australian Earth Laws Alliance (AELA) and is presented in partnership with the Australian Forum for Acoustic Ecology (AFAE). ‘Voices of Nature 2020’ aims to encourage the exploration of the concepts of voice, standing, representation, and agency of the natural world within human governance systems. Rights of Nature is grounded in the recognition that humanity is just one member of the wider Earth community, and that we have evolved with, and are dependent upon, a healthy, interconnected web of life on Earth.

when people walk in Nanjing Railway Station, I can play the sound of my simulated temple knocking on wooden fish, so that people can feel calm in the noise of the railway station and calm down their anxiety when waiting for the train

Welcome to the Boundary St, West End AR audio tour. This AR experience is designed to give you an insight into the physical and social divide between indigenous people and European settlers from 1829 up to 1948 that started with the demarcation of inner Brisbane. These rules meant that Aborigines could not be inside the zone after 4pm six days a week or at all on Sundays. The rectangular boundary ran from Boundary St here in West End up to Boundary St in Spring Hill, then across to Wellington Rd in East Brisbane. What follows are excerpts from books, diaries, newspapers and other references that reveal the zeitgeist of that time. To fully enjoy this experience, first walk up the “indigenous side” of Boundary St, from the corner of Mollison and Boundary up to Vulture St, then back down the “European side” from Vulture St to the cnr of Boundary and Browning St.
