Locative Listening

“This was our neighbourhood” is a locative sound walk through a small area that straddles Kirkendall and Durand. Participants will need earbuds and a smartphone with internet access in order to experience this web-based locative sound walk. During the walk you will use your smartphone to listen to GPS-enabled narrative and soundscape retellings of real and imagined histories of this little pocket of Hamilton. This sound walk is part of an ongoing research and creative practice that explores “Augmented Aurality” and “Sonic Cartography” hybrid listening experiences that engage the listener in a kind of “sonic placemaking” as they inhabit story spaces.

Call to Prayer(ezan) at Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul. The person who recites the call to prayer is known as a Muezzin. This recording was made using a binaural audio setup attached to my lovely recording assignment seen here. Her name is Sophia. Call to Prayer at this location in Istanbul is unique due to the fact that ezan can be heard coming from three different minarets in the area. In addition to the call and response like nature of the recitation, be aware of the city sounds that move in and out of the recording. You will also notice a reflection/echo of one of the muezzin's calls as it bounces off nearby structures.
