In a soundwalk, the listening “audience” moves through a place and
the environment "performs," a collaboration that creates a unique
piece that can only occur during the time of the walk. This SOUNDwalk
will also include a tour of the outdoor installations and Guerilla
Sound Art Performances by Ellen Waterman & Wanderology. Following
the SOUNDwalk, Sound Travels renders a portrait of celebrated Quebec
acousmatic artist Robert Normandeau through a concert hosted by David
Ogborn featuring Normandeau's works Rumeurs (Place de Ransbeck),
Mémoires Vives, Spleen, StrinGDberg, and Hamlet-Machine with actors.

Church, Toronto Island
The SOUNDwalk will also include a tour of the outdoor installations
and Guerilla Sound Art Performances by Ellen Waterman & Wanderology
followed by Sounding Ariadne's Thread, a site specific work for 20
singers. Ariadne is known in Cretan & Minoan mythology as 'the Lady
of the Labyrinth', and her rituals are associated with ceremonial
dance. The performers in this composition will be walking specific
patterns that highlight the geometric and rhythmic relationships of
the Chartres Pattern, created in the 1200's in medieval Europe. Both
the choral music and the electroacoustic source material are based
on vocal improvisations by Wende Bartley and soundscape recordings
made at various Minoan ancient temple & cave sites in Crete.
Admission also includes the indoor Sound Travels installations which
will open after this performance.

The SOUNDwalk will also include a tour of the outdoor installations
followed by site-specific performance by the Element Choir with
Christine Duncan. The Element Choir works with both structured and
non-structured elements, based primarily on a system of conduction
cues. As an ensemble they explore textural and timbral sound
qualities, soundscapes, rhythmic patterns, sound poetry, group and
individual composition ideas, musical genre interplay and extended
voice techniques.
