Carlton Gardens In The 1800's

Fitzroy Gardens is a beautiful park located in the heart of Melbourne, Australia. It covers an area of 26 hectares and offers visitors a peaceful and scenic escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. A walk through Fitzroy Gardens is a great way to spend a leisurely afternoon in Melbourne and experience the natural beauty and historic charm of the city. In this walk you'll hearing a combination of the bustling city surrounding and the natural delights that come from being among nature.

The yarra combination aims to explore the relationship between nature and society, as everyone can see the riverbank is a location where you can physically be in nature and society at the same time. But what is the riverbank actually like when there is no human? How is it changed step by step? This is what I am trying to explore......

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.......

An immersive AR Soundscape designed to replicate the sounds predominantly rooted within a hiking trail, amongst an ambiance of pure organic materials- ironically constructed with recordings of synthetic/ artificial sounds that have been edited to mirror the qualities and masquerade as the organic sounds of nature. As you make your way through you will be greeted by a rushing stream of water that lures you into a veiled cavity within the forest that encapsulates you, sheltering you amidst a curtain of tall trees lined with shrubs that stretch around the border of this organic cavern. These establishing sounds are designed to parallel "The Grotto", situated in the Royal Melbourne Botanical Gardens. I've chosen this location because I felt it materialized my concept quite effectively. I wanted a place where the transition from a completely undisturbed organic space to a heavily industrialized environment would be fairly stark, and therefore intensify my intent by emphasizing the illusionary qualities of my composition. Upon initiating these initial recordings, it begins to sprinkle with"rain" before thundering down in a heavy gush. The skies begin clearing as you edge the conclusion of the walk nearing the exit of the grotto which leads you to a completely juxtaposed setting of a cityscape with tall grey buildings that stretch across the horizon. As you enter the footpath and conclude your walk, you will approach a crossing, simultaneously the familiar sounds of a "beg beeper", posing as a sort of alarm to awaken you from this trance to meet the industrialized reality awaiting you ahead. This soundscape is developed with the intent to allude to the growing environmental calamities specifically with regards to its acceleration through human involvement; poverty and food waste, pollution, overuse of greenhouse gasses, etc. which is paralleled with the "industrial" synthetic sounds, that are used to replicate the organic sounds that they pose as, (and landscape awaiting you at the conclusion of the walk) highlighting inaccuracy and impaired attempts to replicate or restore them. Ideally, the intent is not to educate what we already know, but to stress the imperativeness of taking action whilst there still is time.

This echo is located in the RMIT Alumni Courtyard. Our aim was to transport our listeners from the RMIT Alumni Courtyard to the courtyard that they may have experienced in Primary School. Sounds that we heard in primary school are featured in our soundscape - children laughing, running, silly conversations. We wish to shift you from a serious university environment to a carefree, nostalgic and happy childhood memory. Enjoy!

The soundscape is created by combining the sounds heard at the train station and the library. It is created for people who want to experience the library and train station ambiance at the same time since people can see that there are lots of activities happening in the library such as reading, talking, or doing work at the station as well. It helps people relax, focus, sleep or simply get through the day.
