Alexander Johannes Heil SubstanzWalk - Introduction to Substanzraum Geo-located Audio Walk Location: Westduinpark, The Hague, The Netherlands Narration: Mabel Calvert Verbruggen Duration: ca. 45min 2020 This slightly surreal audio walk is composed with a mixture of synthetic and recorded environmental sounds. These sounds blend with the actual sounds of the environment and create confusion about their origin, which ultimately emphasises your attention to your surroundings. Narrated text fragments from my essay 'Substanzraum, A New Approach To Global Space', accompany this geo-located audio walk. https://alexanderjohannes.com/substanzraum-essay/ HOW TO WALK THIS SOUND WALK: 1. Download the Walk beforehand! (oval button with indication of MB next to the 'STREAM WALK' button above this text) Even if you have a very good mobile data contract, the most uninterrupted experience is ensured when the sound walk is already downloaded to your Echoes app. 2. Activate the 'Autoplay' function! When you click 'STREAM WALK' you access the walk. You will enter a map screen and at the top right hand is a 'hamburger menu' (the three horizontal stripes)! Click there and you will be presented with the 'Autoplay' option at exact that position on your screen. 3. Use so-called 'open headphones'! Open headphones have the advantage that you can hear outside noises more easily and therefore offer better environmental awareness. 4. If you hold a SubstanzWalk Map in your hand, please travel to Station Markenseplein, Den Haag, The Netherlands (Tram 12/Bus22) and enjoy the walk. If you are not already in possession of a SubstanzWalk Map, please download the printable map from the Stroom Den Haag website: https://www.stroom.nl/media/SubstanzWalkMap.pdf Enjoy! and drop me a DM about your experience via insta @alexanderjheil The walk and the map are free.

“In Transit” is a sound‑walk created for Rewire Festival. As visitors move along the festival’s pathways from one event to the next, they often feel a sense of urgency. This project invites participants to let go of the rush and linger in the in‑between moment, turning the state of transit into a grounded and soothing experience. We encourage listeners to stay present and notice the sounds weaving one space into another, highlighting the subtle sonic traces and events that connect each venue. The listener composes their own piece out of the sounds placed in 4 different paths linking the 4 different venues. The walk can be entered and left at any time.

In the silence that wraps around you, do you feel the subtle heartbeat of anticipation, like the quiet before a storm; Or is it merely the echo of your own steps? As you wander through the shadows in the narrow corridors, do they whisper timeless stories, or are they merely fragments of your imagination?

"Estranged" follows the contrast between surrounding elements which are detached from reality, and those which fall into place. what makes one feel at ease, at home? what differentiates a dream and substantiality? A poetic passage from cultural to re-wilded urban spaces. Walk slowly in all directions and follow the white rabbit. The walk will be open for the public on Saturday, 26 November 2022, from 13h to 15h. Starting point: Dunne Bierkade 28, curtasy of 'Ethica Restaurant'. https://beepblip.org/ https://soundcloud.com/yaaray
