Assessment 2: Mobile AR Sound Walk By Jack Michael Mason. Come and Take a Journey through TIME & SPACE!

2993QCM Assessment 2 for jaizel macphail

This sound walk is based around the sights and sounds you would encounter when going through the Burleigh Headland. I have chosen to mix a variety of the common sounds you would encounter when walking the track including natural elements such as trees blowing in the wind, birds calling and animals moving through the bush. These sounds are combined with human elements as the headland is a very popular destination for runners, walking and getting to the beach so I felt as though it was important to include noises as such.

This walk aims to start a conversation around our Indigenous past, present and future and to begin to shift the paradigm when we think about our public spaces. Along the walk today you’ll explore the history of Jellurgal, informed by Indigenous perspectives and narrated by Gamilaroi man Tristan Schultz. NOTE: each echo is spatially arranged to allow for reflection; either at its initial trigger location, or between. Use this time to ruminate and enjoy your surrounds. I acknowledge and pay respect to the Yugambeh people of the Gold Coast and all their descendants both past and present.

This is an assessment piece for Griffith University's, Creative Audio class. This sound walk is not suitable for children. Please wait until each audio track finishes before entering a new spot.
