Workshop3

This soundwalk follows seven key sites at McMaster, from bus stops to study and social spaces. It uses close-up sounds like scanners, printers, and café details to show how everyday mobility and campus life are shaped through sound.

Just an elevator ride right?

I don't know what this is about. Can you figure it out?

This sound walk takes you through McMaster during sunrise!

This soundwalk is designing for people who have social phobia, also called social anxiety disorder. It’s when people fear of crowds and get anxious in public space. In this piece of work, I try to relate to how I personally perceive the environment and to create a sense of me as a companion to the audience.

This soundwalk will explore the intersection of race, migration and mobility through the analysis of the South African Apartheid and its effects on the McMaster student community. This soundwalk highlights the ways in which institutions similar to McMaster that are rooted in the creation of inclusive, supportive communities fail to recognize intersectional differences between students and their individualistic needs.

Thank you for joining our cause, agent. Things on campus aren't as they seem. Follow the GPS coordinates on your phone, and listen to our instructions. Things may not make sense now, but they will in time. (Start at the south entrance of the Student Centre)

Black Excellence at McMaster is a soundwalk that guides listeners through a tour of strong sites across campus where Black culture, resilience, and community thrive. On each site, points of interest mark locations important to Black students—from vibrant events such as the celebratory BSSC cookout and Black History Month basketball games to moments of reflection in serene gardens to celebratory events such as Black Grad. With narrative, background noise, and arrangement, the walk inspires the feeling of belongingness and superiority that defines these locations. This soundwalk is more than a guided tour; it is an audio journey that exalts tradition, joy, and the resilience of community at McMaster University.

This location-aware audio project tells the story of a failed relationship. The listener is taken to various sites that recall the events of the story. Listeners combine their visual and auditory senses to experience this immersive experience. One sound taken from: https://freesound.org/people/kwahmah_02/sounds/268805/ -no changes made
