A guided walk for 10 - 15 year olds (accompanied by an adult).Experience and explore the rich aural mosaic of city life. Bring good walking shoes.

THE CITY AS SOUND project is an intriguing guided walk designed to introduce young people to the city through its sound. During the walk participants investigate the idea that the world is naturally musical, an infinitely complex orchestra of instruments constantly in the process of creating spontaneous compositions.

As the walk winds its way though various sonic enclaves and acoustic fields of the city, participants are given the opportunity to experience and explore the rich aural mosaic of city life, the way sounds relate to each other and to the spaces they inhabit.
