Missing You - W&T 9.5

room 10 ECHOES

Location: Ponta Delgada

Missing You is an app-based audio walk created by artist and musician Danny Bracken. The walk invites listeners to traverse the streets of Ponta Delgada, Azores while listening to a collection of geolocated recordings produced by the artist near his home in Pittsburgh. Unable to travel to the Walk&Talk festival due to COVID-19, Bracken took a series of walks while playing guitar, using binaural recordings to evoke a sensation of walking alongside him as he plays. Ambient sounds of passing cars, humming air-conditioning units, and chirping birds conjure the environment in which these short musical gestures were created and map it onto an alternate landscape. Transportive and grounding, this place-based experience connects listeners with their surroundings on São Miguel while at the same time immersing them in the textures and rhythms of a place far away. Creating the simple impression of taking a walk with the artist, this work invites a small moment of human intimacy in a time of isolation and absence.

Headphones are highly recommended.

Danny Bracken is a multidisciplinary artist working in Pittsburgh, US since 2008. His creative practice explores technological change and its impact on our perceptions and experiences of the people and places that surround us. These works often incorporate video, sound, and physical objects; ranging from public installations to small-scale sculptures, printed material to vinyl record releases. Born into a family of musicians, sound occupies a central role in Bracken’s work, and takes the form of film scores, installations, and stand-alone recordings.

This project was created for Walk&Talk 9.5 - an annual Arts Festival of the Azores.

ISLAND NEX(US): ARQUIPÉLAGO

ISLAND NEX(US): ARQUIPÉLAGO

LEAH BARCLAY, LUÍS VIEIRA, SANDY SUR, TOBY GIFFORD AND LYNDON DAVIS Invisible Places 2017 ISLAND NEX(US): Arquipélago in an augmented reality sound walk that connects the local communities of São Miguel island with the sounds and stories of island communities in the Asia Pacific region who are facing the true ramifications of climate change. The initial layers of sound walk connect with the Leweton Community and Vanuatu Women’s Water Music who hail from the remote northern tropical islands of Gaua and Merelava in Vanuatu. The soundscapes will be underscored by a cultural ceremony from Sandy Sur, a community leader and researcher who focuses on Vanuatu Water Music and its connection to the environment. Sandy’s research aims to develop a deeper understanding of the role sound plays in the environment and how the Water Music of Vanuatu is deeply inspired by place, nature and culture. This cultural tradition is now evolving in response to rapidly changing climates and can act as a call to action. The experience connects to the soundscapes of coastal and island communities in Australia through hydrophone (underwater) recording and community voices across the ocean. The soundscapes of Noosa Biosphere Reserve are supported by the voice of Lyndon Davis, director of Gubbi Gubbi Dance and traditional custodian of the local region. The sounds, songs and stories in this sound walk explore ecological interconnection, sustainability and the art and science of listening to the environment.

O Roteiro Linschoten

O Roteiro Linschoten

Este percurso, integralmente à beira-mar ou o mais próximo dela possível, de acordo com a carta de Linschoten, subiria do Porto das Pipas até ao Adro Santo, onde se assiste ao naufrágio de uma nau de Malaca, segundo o relato de Linschoten, descendo depois pela Rua do Faleiro até Santo Espírito e ao Pátio da Alfândega; daí, após assinalar Alfândega e Hospital, seguiria pela Rua dos Minhas Terras e Rua da Rocha até à Porta da Prata, acompanhando as embarcações de comércio local, o estaleiro da Prainha e os planos espanhóis de fortificação da cidade. Este roteiro sonoro, baseado no texto original de Linschoten, constitui-se, assim, como uma estratégia de interacção com cidadãos e visitantes, recorrendo a ferramentas digitais contemporâneas e próprias das "cidades inteligentes", que investem em tecnologia para melhorar a gestão autárquica e proporcionar aos seus cidadãos uma melhor qualidade de vida e a sustentabilidade dos espaços, ao mesmo tempo que assume a disponibilização de um recurso para comunicar Angra do Heroísmo e valorizar o papel que desempenhou na História do Mundo, tanto para o turismo como para a população local, integrando-se na categoria dos produtos culturais de interesse turístico.

Die Koralle - A Diplomatic Intervention

Die Koralle - A Diplomatic Intervention

At the end of March 1967, a group of scientists from the Museum of Natural History in East Berlin boarded a ship in Rostock and travelled towards Cuba. 70 kilometres east of Havana, on a coast strip called Arroyo Bermejo, they worked towards the realisation of an ambitious project: corals, fish and other organisms were to be collected, transferred to East Berlin and worked into a reconstruction of a Cuban coral reef that would be integrated to the permanent exhibition of the Natural History Museum. This imaginary sound walk traces from different perspectives this coral’s trip to Berlin, exploring 50 years of a never-ending journey.

Lembro-me ® da beleza de Sintra

Lembro-me ® da beleza de Sintra

150 years ago Hans Christian Andersen visited Portugal and fell in love with the country and the people. He described the journey in the book »A visit in Portugal 1866«. The unique thing about Andersen’s book and especially his descriptions of the old royal city of Sintra, today Unesco World Heritage, is that the city and the area still looks like the place Andersen visited and wrote about. Hans Christian Andersen's travelogue from Sintra gets new life in a new form, by retelling selected passages in the danish composer Hans Sydows sound walk Lembro-me ® da beleza de Sintra (I remeber ® Sintras loveliness), passing through the Santa Maria area in SIntra, where H. C. Andersen stayed as guest in the O'Neill familys house in Clacada dos Clerigos. Along the way Andersen breaks into song, when he can't hold back his fascination of Sintra. With a set of headphones and the Jeg kan huske ® app on your smartphone you can experience the sound walk with Andersens stories played back as a soundscape that opens up, when you walk through it. GPS on the phone detects where you are and triggers playback of the sounds and stories associated with the place. The soundwalk Lembro-me ® da beleza de Sintra is produced by RESONANCE.DK in cooperations with Denmarks Embassy in Lisbon, with financial support from DJBFA, and it will be premiered at The International H. C. Andersen conference in Sintra from 8th untill 10th of March 2017. Text: H. C. Andersen Translation: Silva Duarte & John Irons Speak: Paulo Valente Pereira Composition og sounddesign: Hans Sydow Music: BengtssonSydow

Jeg kan huske ® Sintras dejlighed

Jeg kan huske ® Sintras dejlighed

I 2016 var det 150 år siden at H. C. Andersen besøgte Portugal og efterfølgende beskrev denne rejse i bogen »Et besøg i Portugal 1866«. Det unikke ved Andersens bog og hans beskrivelse af den gamle kongeby Sintra er, at byen og stedet stadig i dag ligner det sted han besøgte for 150 år siden. H. C. Andersens beskrivelse af byen får nyt liv i en ny form, genfortalt i Hans Sydows soundwalk Jeg kan huske ® Sintras dejlighed, som går gennem Santa Maria kvarteret, hvor han var gæst hos familien O'Neill. Andersen blev så betaget af landet og folket, at han stort set ikke skrev et ord mens han var her. Han nød bare at være her og skrev på et tidspunkt hjem til Danmark: » Jeg er i grunden en sydbo!« Undervejs i soundwalken bryder Andersen ud i sang, når han bare ikke kan holde sin begejstring for Sintra tilbage. I soundwalken afspilles fortællingerne som et lydlandskab, der folder sig ud, mens du går igennem det. Via gps registerer telefonen hvor du er, og sætter automatisk gang i afspilningen af de lyde og fortællinger som er knyttet til stedet. Tekst: H. C. Andersen Speak: Ulle Bjørn Bengtsson Komposition og lyddesign: Hans Sydow Musik: BengtssonSydow Soundwalken Jeg kan huske ® Sintras dejlighed findes også i en portugisisk version, hvor sangene synges på engelsk. Projektet er realiseret af RESONANCE.DK i samarbejde med Danmarks Ambassade i Lissabon, med økonomisk støtte fra DJBFA.
