Sound Park

Sound Park is an instructional sound piece that experiments with the composition of music through movement.

Five wandering instrumentalists improvise to a static drummer’s beat as they navigate individual paths through a pine forest. Without words or prior introduction, each musician’s journey contributes to a collective musical outcome.

Weaving in and out of each others earshot, six separate routes are documented and synchronised in to one composition.
