Valvasor Park29. Sep. 2023CukrarnaAmbulation is a walking performance that uses listening technologies to harvest diverse sounds from the immediate environment. Drawing on field recording techniques, Tim Shaw records acoustic sounds and electromagnetic waves as he walks. He captures, repeats, processes and mixes these sounds using his own portable equipment, creating an interactive improvisation that intertwines recorded and live sonic events.
Each performance is specific to its geographical and temporal context. The listening technologies and sound processing systems are adapted to the characteristics of each location, meaning that the project is never finished and continues to evolve with every new invitation.
