-What is a sound walk? – Anytime one chooses to consciously listen to a space as they move through it.

-A soundwalk is fruitful place for interactions between people for environmental awareness.

-When we think of listening, its in terms of gathering information of our surroundings, or musical listening. However, when leading a sound walk, Andra McCartney practices ‘Historical Listening’ and ‘Ecological Listening’.

– The framing and context is important. Location, Location, Location.

– The possibilities of understanding a place becomes deeper, as walks can be repeated.

-While recording, McCartney writes sound journals, records audio and captures still photography.

-McCartney speaks on focusing on one location, creating a meditative piece that ‘stay very slowly in one place’

-Soundwalks create possibilities for dialogue, therefore opening up discussion around the environment.
