Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK | Golden Gate Park | Ongoing, FREE
SOUNDWALK is a GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music, composed by Reid and performed by Kronos and others, to illuminate the natural environment. SOUNDWALK is custom-tailored to its setting, and has been created to encourage a deeper connection to nature and exploration of iconic spaces. Listeners access the work via a free smartphone app, and experience a dynamic sonic landscape meticulously mapped to the park’s landscape and attractions.
We suggest that you install the SOUNDWALK app and download the Golden Gate Park walk to your phone prior to arriving at the park – click here to watch an instructional video.
Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK in Golden Gate Park is presented by KRONOS FESTIVAL in association with McEvoy Foundation for the Arts. Additional support is provided by Ann Hatch, Andrea Lunsford, Sumiko Ito & Don Allison, and Curtis Smith & Sue Threlkeld.
