WSIU to Host Local Soundwalk on Tuesday, October 23
Carbondale, Ill. – Reporters, photographers, and camera crews are invited to cover a free Fall Campus Soundwalk for the general public on Tuesday, October 23 at noon, beginning at the north entrance of the SIU Student Center in Carbondale, Illinois. The soundwalk is co-sponsored by WSIU Public Radio and the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology.
A rain date for the event has been set for Tuesday, October 30 at noon in the same location.
Dave Armstrong, host of the WSIU Radio program Sounds Like Radio, will lead the soundwalk, which is being presented in association with the SIU College of Mass Communication & Media Arts' Imagined Geographies Initiative.
A soundwalk invites participants to examine the many different layers of sound in their environment, and to explore how sound interacts with and changes perceptions of our surroundings and how people contribute individually to the soundscape.
Sounds Like Radio is a two-hour program on WSIU Radio that brings a unique perspective to everyday sounds. It features experimental music, avant-garde works, sound art, and field recordings. Sounds Like Radio airs Sundays from 3-5am and again from 10pm-12am.
For more information about the soundwalk, contact Dave Armstrong at malty1@gmail.com.
