The Neverending Glen Sound Map

5 ECHOES

Welcome to the Neverending Glen sound map! You must download the ECHOES app to fully access the GPS-triggered autoplay and experience the full immersive nature of this walk. This map highlights five locations within the Neverending Glen, providing sonic responses to each while also emphasising the glen's natural soundscape.

Please download the sounds from the options above (app only feature) before you start the walk, as weak signal will interfere with your experience.

Headphones are highly recommended for this soundwalk. There are a limited number of earphones available to borrow for free and can be picked up from the Walled Garden. Please return them after use so others can equally enjoy this sonic journey!

Please take care when soundwalking, but most importantly, enjoy the journey and don't forget to listen!

Shorelands

Isle of Bute

Shorelands by Laura Campbell. Welcome to the Echoes geolocated augmented audio version of Shorelands - a series of 9 text scores created and composed to guide audiences in exploring, listening and performing with the natural sounds and sonic characteristics associated with the Isle of Bute coastline, from Port Bannatyne to Craigmore (Montford Terrace). Starting at Port Bannatyne shelter (opposite The Anchor pub,Isle of Bute PA20 0LL) immerse yourself in the natural soundscapes stopping to listen, respond, improvise and perform at 9 sheltered spots. Time: take as long as you want (Walk, bike, bus, car). Distance: 3.4 miles Terrain: mostly flat, some uneven grass surfaces and gravel. Please ensure you are in a safe position before listening to each score. Standing and sitting in the seaside shelters is a suggestion. Instructions To listen and interact with the Shorlands walk, we recommend you download Shorelands prior to the walk rather than stream as this may use data and you may be be charged. Choose 'audio quality basic or premium ' option for free, premium is better quality. The walk is triggered by your location and physical movements, your phone will use its GPS to locate where you are and trigger the audio when you are within each blue sound zone along the route. Choose Autoplay by choosing the lines at the top right of the screen and playing each score at each location. Designed to be experienced using headphones. Feedback: This project is part of my wider PhD project into how creative and musical interventions can encourage new modes of listening to our environment - I am hoping to to create a new collaborative score composed from shared responses to the soundscape along the Isle of Bute coastline.
