06/07 - ISSUE Project Room Soundwalk-a-thon (DEADLINE EXTENDED!)
A sonic arts experiment in support of Issue Project Room
On the afternoon of Sunday June 7, a group of visionary artists will lead sonic excursions throughout New York as part of a rare live sonic arts experiment — the ISSUE Project Room Soundwalk-a-thon — a fundraiser and collective public inquiry into the connection between urban space and our collective sonic imaginations.
Led and designed by some of New York’s most exciting sound artists and musicians, these walks will take groups of 10-20 people at a time on an intimate journey of sonic discovery to experience our community in a way they may never have done before — through sound. Walks range from meditative deep listening, to sing-a-longs, to noise-making walks incorporating instruments, iPods, boomboxes, cell phones, or silence in order to amplify the nuances of our ever-changing soundscape.

This is 30 seconds of sound recorded on the All Borough Bag Walk led by Michelle Nagai. On this walk, participants were invited to create a map from any point to the Old American Can Factory. On that route, participants would stop anytime they spotted a stranded plastic bag, and then record the sound at each place.
These sounds are from 2nd Place near Court Street in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.
