 t.\nWhat\, Why\, Who?\n\nA soundwalk is a practice: it is walking without 
 talking\, focussing on the sound around\, focussing on being there rather 
 than talking about it. A slow soundwalk takes you to undiscovered places: 
 means of transport\, your senses.\n\nSessions usually consist of 3 x 20 mi
 nutes sessions with light intermission to share thoughts and reflections a
 nd then move on. The session is led by Phil Morton: acoustic ecologist\, w
 ho has delivered soundwalks and listening projects in many and varied sett
 ings.\n\n“When was the last time you went somewhere just to hear the sou
 nds there? Whether experienced as private meditation or as collective sile
 nce SOUNDWALKS refresh your ears and reset your sensual awareness to where
  you are\, live or work\n\nAll welcome: avoid noisy bags and clothing\, br
 ing a friend and you won’t have to explain the journey to them later! Su
 rprise yourself”\n\nA slow soundwalk will be of interest to\;\n• Music
 ians (as it involves listening to a sequence of sounds)\n• To recording 
 artists (as one needs to appreciate the relationship between background an
 d foreground sound\, for example)\n• For electronic musicians (as it rel
 ates to the way timbres interact)\n• To planners and architects (as the 
 sound is part of the atmosphere of a place and affects social responses).\
 n• Sound artist - (as an act of attentive listening as part of a prepara
 tory methodology)\n• Everyone and anyone\, (as an act of `ear cleaning`\
 , a space of time to slow down and focus on the reality of sound in the pr
 esent\, to reset\, refresh and re-engage)\n\nTop tip: Wrap up and protect 
 oneself from the elements\, make a note of Phil Morton’s mobile as a pre
 caution and back up in case you cannot find the meet up/start point or you
 r are late.\n\nPresented by Sonic Gaze Group\,\nPhil Morton: Mob 079995185
