ReHear: DMSA Audiowalk (Brighton Digital Festival 2017)

Join sound artist and researcher Anna Edmonds, as she introduces a novel mobile listening experience. Take an immersive audio heritage walk around Brunswick Square, Hove, as historian Nick Tyson narrates points of interest, complimented by Anna’s own music compositions, sound effects and dialogue. This is a PhD final prototype test of new technology. This walk has an outer route and an inner route. Outer route follows points of interest along the pavement, the inner walk follows free-form movement through the inner square.

A walk around Brighton locations that feature in books. LITTLE GREEN PIG'S BIG BRIGHTON BOOK WALK A sponsored trot through the streets of Brighton and the pages of books set here. On Sunday 16th April, a group of Trustees, charity volunteers and friends will be walking 5 miles through Brighton, following a trail of locations featured in Brighton-set books. From Dorothy Koomson, Peter James and Juno Dawson to Bethan Roberts, Nick Sharratt, Lizzie Enfield, William Shaw, Elly Griffiths, Graham Bartlett, Eva Carter, Umi Sinha and Sue Teddern, and even Jane Austen, William Thackeray and of course Graham Greene's Brighton Rock, all these weave their stories through the streets of Brighton, and we'll be stopping at featured locations to listen to readings of extracts set there, many recorded especially for us by the authors themselves. From bodies found on beaches to snowmen flying over the pavilion domes, from grand balls in seafront hotels and squadrons of Regency soldiers camped out on Hove Lawns to criminals on the run emerging from the smoke of Brighton station, we will follow in the footsteps of others' imaginations, raising money so that local children can have opportunities to tell their own stories and unleash the power of their own imaginations. Brighton-based young people's writing charity, Little Green Pig, supports children and young people to develop writing skills, confidence and communication skills. We believe passionately in working to improve young people's wellbeing and life chances, giving them space to grow, inspire their imaginations and find their voice. For over 10 years we've worked across East and West Sussex in areas of need with more than 5,500 children and young people between 6 - 18 years. We're a small charity and rely heavily on donations. We're very grateful for anything you can donate! Link to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/lgpbigbrightonbookwalk

The piece is experienced through a journey down the Brighton Pier. The concept behind the piece centres itself around the idea of a movement into the unknown, where the sounds and the listeners surroundings do not necessarily align in a tangible way. I chose the Brighton Pier as the location for the sound walk as its structure forms a discursion from the land, which, together with the audio, symbolises a departure from our familiar surroundings. I structured the audio walk to explore this concept through the order in which my compositions are played during the walk. The further away from land the listener walks, the less familiar the compositions sound. The pieces also accumulate a sinister undertone during the walk, inducing a sense of unease which puts emphasis on the theme of unfamiliarity.

Created as part of the MA Digital Media Arts course at University of Brighton, this unique soundwalk captures some of the key 'soundmarks' of Brighton & Hove and places them in public spaces. Some of these field recordings are to be found at the site of their initial recording and others have been processed and collaged and then placed in locations away from the site of their capture. Either way, the listener is invited to reconsider how we listen to everyday sounds (noise) in relation to the urban landscape around us.
