Singing Insects Monitoring Soundwalk at Indian Boundary Park

My soundwalking practice is informed by Hildegard Westerkamp, an internationally renowned composer and ecologist. She says soundwalks directly engage each participant in the complex interrelationships of sound making and listening wherever we are.
