Walking piece details

Duration 30 minutes
Facebook

This piece is a collage of field recordings and stories of the history of a unique village on the gaspé coast of Quebec. Living memories are recounted of a dramatically different era, two generations past. The listener is directed along a path through the central sites of the town, viewing the present places while listening to their past. The audiotour is loosely related to the mobile app of the same name, but more extensive and easily available for download.

Bridging History

The Bridging History series tells the tale of the colonisation and settlement of Dubbo, on Wiradjuri Country in Central West NSW Australia, through built infrastructure that changed the Wambuul Macquarie River forever. The bridges cross water and land with a much older story to tell. Today, you can cross all three bridge sites by walking, running or cycling the Tracker Riley Cycleway that loops around the river.
