Emma Louis - Take Your Ears for a Walk
As part of the festival within a festival - Blinc Digital Arts Festival, alongside Gwledd Conwy Feast.
Emma Louis – Take Your Ears For A walk.
The sounds will always be there, but will anyone be listening ?
Our world has some wonderful sounds, but we rarely take the time to notice them. “Take your Ears for a Walk “ invites you to experience this overlooked element of the world around you. Intense listening can become meditative, and as you become tuned in the brain naturally begins to separate sounds, heightening directionality. Smaller sounds are perceived and the world is turned into a multi directional soundscape. The locations have been carefully chosen to reflect various elements of naturally occurring phenomena of Conwy, the sounds of the festival will play an important role in this, and sites have been chosen to incorporate it.
This piece is inspired by when I did some sound recording around Conwy for “Y Twr” by Ed Wright 3 years ago. I went on a sonic adventure in and around the town walls and what started as a basic recording project became an emotional journey. As I grew up in Conwy I found that many sounds had not changed from when I was a child, bringing back so many memories. I discovered “my Conwy “ and indeed a large part of me through these sounds
The Royal British Legion in Conwy will be the Blinc Festival hub, with information on Emma's Take your Ears for a Walk. Greg Byatts Digital Screening Room will also be located at this venue. You will be able to pick up a catalogue here and also get yourself a drink at the bar.
