Join us for a walk through the cracks of the soundscape to explore the political as well as poetical potential of a sound walk and deep listening as ways of orienting ourselves in the public space and reimagining the relations and ways of cultivating it. 🌿

No previous experience or knowledge needed.

The walk with the commentary and practical part will take about 90 minutes.
The donations is voluntary.

We will meet at the Přístav 18600. Details will be send to registered participants.

Wear something comfortable and preferably some good shoes for walking through the terrain.

Thursday 23rd June with sound maker and researcher Sara Pinheiro

In this soundwalk, we will approach our sonic environment from deep listening to deep recording, allowing the surrounding soundscape to unfold itself in time. The idea is to approach the space beyond what is immediately audible. For that purpose, participants will be first invited to practice their listening skills based on Pauline Oliveros’s deep listening practice and on Murray Schafer’s soundscape features. After walking across Přístav, we will finally listen with extended-techniques of field recording, namely via different types of contact microphones.


Sara Pinheiro is a sound-maker. For film and video-art, she does sound recording, editing, foley and mixing. In her solo practice, she makes acousmatic pieces, usually for multichannel performances, radio broadcasts or installations. Her work crosses practices of sound design for film with concrete and acousmatic music. It blends natural and artificial soundscapes via field recordings, foley practices and signal processing. She is a member of the live-coding group K-o-l-e-k-t-i-v and the noise trio SHLUK. She is also a regular collaborator of Synth Library and Arteacta, both in Prague. She facilitates workshops, soundwalks and listening sessions since 2012. Pinheiro is also the author of REGARDLESS, “Field recordings: a manifesto” and “Noise Pollution and Sound Beyond Sound” (with Shluk). In addition, she has put forward the idea of “deep recording” and of “the critical ear”.



Next soundwalk will take place on the 22nd September and will include an experimental concert of live sets composed from field recordings.
