Sound Walks

Sound Walk

"The Art of Noise" 

- Luigi Russolo

2013 is the 10th year of SoundWalks, a festival that rethinks the approach to sound production and how we perceive the noises around us. Artists who utilize sound through their work are asked to summit their work for this yearly event.  

We want to create sound walks through our festival, allowing different areas of design to be involved. The festival is for all ages, and we want it to interest all the senses as you travel around Manchester.

Sound Art: installation at MOSI lets us listen to planet earth

This exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry explores the idea of 'what does planet earth sound like?'. It connects the exhibition to the rest of the world, with the focal point being a large map which shows whenever there is a earthquake anywhere in the world, no matter how big or small. It allows the audience viewing the piece at MOSI to hear the quakes no matter how far away they are.

"By translating earthquake data into a sensory experience, artist Stephen Hurrel bridges that gap, fusing science and art to convey an idea; the Gaian notion that the world is a living thing, and we are all connected by it" - Andrew Anderson
