**Electric Echoes: A Sonic Argument Between the River Goyt and Stockport Power Station. The river speaks back.** **LAUNCHING ON 19TH FEBRUARY 2026** Download the SoundWalk and attune to the River Goyt as it flows and explore the echoes of an industrial past when the river was forced through a vast underground system that fed Stockports Power station. Composed by artist Maya Chowdhry, in collaboration with the local communities of Culture Bridge and the Hong Kong Fellowship, the SoundWalk is a sonic excavation of the river and forces that shape its contemporary form. Listen in as the river guides along its course, through the town’s post-industrial edges, including the tunnels and site of the former Stockport Power Station where the river and the town meet. Using your mobile phone and the Echoes app, you’ll experience site specific sound compositions created in response to the unique history of each location - sonic textures of industrial drones, electrical surges, reverberations of underground tunnels, and the discordant rhythms of the river as it was heated and contracted. The SoundWalk is one half of a sonic argument that unfolds across an interactive installation at Stockport Air Raid Shelters and the walk. While echoes of Stockport’s power station dominate the airwaves at the Shelters, in the SoundWalk the River Goyt has its chance to speak back. Enjoy the Electric Echoes SoundWalk at your own pace, simply download the Echoes app and PDF map below to get started. We recommend using headphones to experience the SoundWalk in the highest quality. The Electric Echoes sound installation will also be on display from February 20th to March 22nd.

A city is made of memories, listen for their echoes… A history walk with a hint of ghosts, crime and the gritty underbelly of life in early Manchester. A walk by Skyliner for Bruntwood SciTech.

A palindromic walk by the canal.

An immersive playground of tortured guitars and words and phrases which were collected in response to a sound installation.
