Refresh your Ears with a City Centre Soundwalk starting at the Bluecoat.

“When was the last time you went somewhere just to hear the sounds there? Whether experienced as private meditation or as collective silence SOUNDWALKS refresh your ears and reset your sensual awareness to where you are, live or work"

A soundwalk is a practice: it is walking without talking, focussing on the sound around, focussing on being there rather than talking about it. The Listening Room takes you to undiscovered places: means of transport, your senses.

Sessions usually consist of 3 x 20 minutes sessions with light intermission to share thoughts and reflections and then move on.

To-nights walk is a slow walk in a busy city centre, a chance to slow down and feel the rhythms and energies of a soundscape, a landscape that may often pass you by. It will follow a classic route The Listening Room has developed during the past ten years, visiting a diverse range of locations.

The session is led by Phil Morton: acoustic ecologist, who has delivered soundwalks and listening projects in many and varied settings.

Presented by The Listening Room, a subset of Frakture.org
