Two online mobile audio walks are available throughout the festival. We invite you to activate these locative audio experiences and follow their alternative mappings of Belfast beyond the festival venues.
Please access the online audio walks via the links provided below.
Peace Wall Belfast Soundwalks
As part of a two-piece artistic research project, Peace Wall Belfast Soundwalks by Georgios Varoutsos is a binaural immersive experience with six soundscapes composed to highlight relationships between realism and perception. These are based on different sonic markers or events occurring in the areas of the Peace Wall Belfast, in Northern Ireland. The intention is to engage with specific areas around the wall to encourage new understandings, as well documents perception of sounds usually overlooked. These soundscapes question how we listen to what we are seeing, and what we are seeing is it being heard?
Sometimes We Wake
Sometimes We Wake is a sound walk by artist Richard Davis which reflects on memory and the queer narrative in his songwriting. It invites you on a walk through Botanic Garden’s Palm House where he took part in a unique music performance back in 2009, reflecting on the songs he was writing at that time, and merging his memories of the conservatory with the writings of a local queer author almost a hundred years before.
