Giovanna Iorio - Sound Artist (UK)
I am a sound artist and I live in UK. I am the founder of the Poetry Sound Library, an archive that preserves 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. Among my projects there is "Voice of Trees, a sound walk to discover the voices of the most important poets from the Poetry Sound Library: monumental trees or parks receive a poet's voice and they become part of an inspiring sound installation.

Ten Love poems for a tree is a project of poetry all around the world in different languages.

Ancient and historical trees are geolocated and people can find them and listen to the Love poems dedicated to them.

Love Poems for a Tree by Giovanna Iorio Translation by Marco Sonzogni

Male voice Marco Sonzogni Female voice Charlotte Chadwick-Jones

Photo from the Google Map Located on New Zealand's South Island about 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Dunedin, the tree is known as #ThatWanakaTree.

Many consider the tree, which appears to be rising alone out the water, a symbol of hope.

Wellington, New Zealand, 'Nightingales'

Wellington, New Zealand, 'Nightingales'

Wellington, Wellington Region, New Zealand
A remote collaboration between two artists in Cornwall, England, and rural Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Initially based around the notions of parenthood, whilst also considering personal, geographical and political space. Composition naturally began to accommodate responses to the pandemic as the album was written during the COVID19 lockdown of 2020. The first five tracks use only the voice and audio production techniques, field recordings, and radio excerpts, whilst the final track contains additional instrumentation.

Tasman Homeschoolers Listening Project

Tasman Homeschoolers Listening Project

Nubeena
Come and take a walk with the Tasman Homeschoolers! Follow the route of their sound walk, with spoken reflections created by the children and their families. Across four workshops, participants developed skills in listening, audio technology, storytelling, and group work. The project culminated in a guided sound walk and reflection session. The children identified points of interest on the walk and recorded their reflections. This project was an outcome of 'The Listening Project' by Van Diemen's Band, facilitated by teaching artist Rachel Meyers and supported by the Tasmanian Government.

Whispering Walls St Helens with Van Diemen's Fiddles

Whispering Walls St Helens with Van Diemen's Fiddles

Whispering Walls is a 35-minute geo-located audio walk along St Helen’s newest walking track, a shared cycle- and walk-way along the foreshore from the town centre to the Lion’s Park. It is presented by Van Diemen’s Fiddles, and is offered as a free event for ticket holders to the ‘Whispering Walls’ concert as part of Ten Days on the Island 2021 festival. The walk can be taken at any time between 12th and 14th March 2021, and participants will need to use their own mobile device and headphones. Whispering Walls is a compilation of selected local stories, sounds, and original music inspired by St Helens and surrounds. Each element is a single thread of the rich tapestry of the place, but in weaving them together, we hope that they may help you to experience this town in a different way. Towns are best discovered at a walking pace, so please, join us in celebrating the small sounds and stories of this place as you take a walk at some point over the weekend.

Forest Walk with Van Diemen's Fiddles

Forest Walk with Van Diemen's Fiddles

Fancy a stroll on kunanyi, accompanied by fiddles and mutated windchimes? Good. This walk runs from Fern Tree Park to Silver Falls. If you're using noise reducing headphones, we suggest you turn that feature off to experience the walk as intended - the spontaneous, real-time sounds from the Pipeline are just as important as the audio tracks in the Echoes app.
