Guidance,
AnAtlas:GUT is intended to be walk that encourages you to begin conversation with the tongueless voices of the urban spaces around you and bring your awareness to how sounds become emotional spaces in your memory.
-Begin at any location with a pair of headphones and allow yourself to listen to the pieces for as long as you like while exploring the areas.
-Graphic scores accompany each piece and can be found in the informational bar on the top right of the app. These are both maps and tonal notation for each location, find what timbres you equate to the imagery and what your score would look like for this. (for clearer images all scores can also be found on the AnAtlas website which is also linked on the map.)
-Notice what you equate to the imagery, how the sounds mirror, harmonize, or contradict the ambient sounds occurring around you. Allow yourself to move into spaces conditioned by the sounds.
-I recommend writing down your observations during or after your walk to create your own score of the spaces.
-You can complete the circuit in full or allow yourself to be guided elsewhere.
Memories and the sounds that haunt their spaces are never the same, each walk, each recollection, and each noticing of breath forms a new sediment.
AnAtlas:GUT is the first installation of soundwalks in the AnAtlas series that compose an audio-pyschogeographic map of spaces, memories, and sentiments. The walk can be completed as a circuit or as individual interactions. Each vortex is accompanied by a graphic score and location, but free exploration is encouraged. As you are led through the spaces, try to bring your attention to the sounds of the spaces you are drawn to or repulsed by and how this dictates how you might have subconsciously navigated accordingly. Notice when time seems to lengthen beyond the physical limitations of the spaces, what spaces harbor you and which thrash you.
Thank you for your mind, time, and sharing your space with mine for a moment.
