Giovanna Iorio's Sound Walks

I am a sound artist and I live in UK. I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, and archive that preserve the voices of poets from past and present. I research ways to link poetry to the landscape. My sound walks are in UK and around the world. "Voice of Trees" is a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library archive: monumental trees receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.

Block 1307: An Uncommon History

Block 1307: An Uncommon History

Curated as a contemplative, listener-shaped listening experience, this self-guided, on-demand soundwalk invites participants to explore one Midtown block as a layered historical and cultural field. Centered on the Seagram block (Park to Lexington, 52nd to 53rd), it uses geolocated audio zones where music, field recordings, and archival traces overlap, fade, and recombine as listeners move, pause, or retrace their steps. There is no prescribed route and no single “correct” reading: each body composes its own path through precolonial ecologies, rail and industrial histories, residential and cultural transformations, and corporate modernity. This walk was made for the 2026 Jane's Walk NYC

The Abridged Macbeth - NYC edition

The Abridged Macbeth - NYC edition

New York, New York, United States

Ideaporium presents a highly abridged version of Shakespeare's Macbeth. As you walk south on the west side of Fifth Ave beginning at the corner of 57th st, you'll experience the three witch scenes from the play. The intention is for you to wait until each scene completes before entering the next. We invite you to perform your own personal ritual during this journey. The roles of the witches were performed by Jenna Meadows, Lotus Rogers, and Marina Byrne, under the direction of Brent T. Gibbs, who also edited the text.

MPATE-GE 2028: Union Square Immersive History

MPATE-GE 2028: Union Square Immersive History

Note: Please start at the south end of the park and proceed counterclockwise. This walk explores the layered history of Union Square Park through 4 soundscapes that represent the uses of the square over its 300+ year history. Starting at the base of the park, explore the sounds of nature that predated US settlements in Union Square. As you walk clockwise, you first pass through elements of commerce and business that have populated the square. As you reach the north end, the sounds of agriculture and farmer's markets invoke the history of the square as both farmland and its current function as a regular farmer's market. As you make your way around the western side, you will hear the sounds of transit and construction, marking the square's history as a center of transportation and infrastructure. The entire walk is underpinned by the sounds of music that have flooded Union Square for much of its history, highlighting the varied history of New Yorkers and the sounds they have brought into the square. Much of Union Square's history includes theater, performance, and musical gatherings so this represents a throughline of all of the different eras referenced on the soundwalk. Enjoy! Note: Please start at the south end and proceed around the park counter-clockwise.
