A key 方面 of 声景观（声景） 研究 is the 敏感 of 大众 to their acoustic 环境 and the 教育 imperative of 协助 in the 发展 of the individual's 聆 技巧 Soundwalks are an 方面 of this comprising 周期（时期） of 时间 when one 听 with greater attention than usual to one's 声音 环境 i e 声景观（声景） Soundwalkers may even let their 耳 测定（确定） the route of the walk A soundwalker may at the same 时间 be 錄/录 材料 for further 用 in 声景观（声景） 作曲

EARS2
a walk where the participant or participants concentrate on 聆 [paraphrase of Schafer 212–213] The 主要 goal of the 活动 is to facilitate 高度 聆 When more than one 人 is involved 静 is expected throughout no chatting during the walk And there is 通常 a discussion about the 声 and the 聲行/声漫步 at the end


Soundwalks can be 录制 and used as a 源 of 声 or used as an inspiration for 作品



You will 学习 about soundwalks and to identify the differences between 声 听 in different 地点 You will be encouraged to make a 聲行/声漫步 and to 录 the 声 that you 听

听 to the 為耳/音频 clip then please select your answer below


Why Soundwalks?

In order to pay more attention to the soundscapes and 声音 环境 that 环绕 us we can go on soundwalks

These are walks in which we 听 out for all of the 声 which 环绕 us They can take place within buildings or outside

Soundwalks are most 有效 when the 旅程 of the 聲行/声漫步 passes through a 范围（排列） of different 声音 环境

They can introduce us to new 声 and help us to train our 聆 技巧 When 人 take part in their first 意识 soundwalks they are often surprised by how many different 声 they are able to perceive


What do I need for a Soundwalk?
1 The first thing that you'll need is a supervisor or a couple of friends who are willing to 听 to 声
◦This will keep you safe and also give you someone to talk with about the 声 that you 听 on your walk
2 The next thing that you'll need is a route
◦Perhaps look at a map and try to chart a 旅程 that travels through a 多样性（差异） of areas but also passes through key 地点
3 Once you have your route planned then you'll be ready to set off Be sure to take any supplies with you that you might need and to be prepared for the relevant weather

重要 聲行/声漫步 Pointers
•This should be fun
•Try to set challenges ◦For 例如 hunting out the most interesting 声波
◦Or challenging your friends to identify the 声 that you are 听觉 You could play a game like 'Eye Spy' but adapt the rules so that they 作品 for 声 'Ears Hear'!

•Try to minimise the amount of talking while you're on the 聲行/声漫步 because you'll miss out on 听觉 the 声 around you
◦BUT if you 听 some really interesting 声 do point them out to your friends and 也许 discuss them while you're out and about
◦There is no point being out with your friends and then ignoring them! It's much more fun to make soundwalks a joint activity

OPTIONAL – You could 录 the 声 that you 听 on your walk using a mobile phone or a 领域（野外） 錄機/录机 so that you can 听 again to them at a later date


Soundwalks and Composition

Some composers 用 soundwalks to collect new 观念 and inspiration as well as to collect 声波 录音 which they can 用 in 作品

You might find some really great 声 around you that can be used within a 作品 or the 声 you find might inspire a 作品

There are so many interesting 声 around us and with the world being such a changing place there are always new 声 to be 已有


活动 One
Make a 音符 of the 声 that you 听 on a 旅程 也许 on the way home or between classes what 声 do you hear? Can you 描述 the 音高 时值 and 相对 响度 of the sounds? What about the 声波 Qualities?

[Download this CHECKLIST to help]

Copy your 音符 onto the 算機/计算机 and upload them for other 人 to see and compare Find the description of another 聲行/声漫步 that someone else has uploaded to the website forums N B 不 YET FUNCTIONING Can you 想像 the 声 that they 听 from the descriptions provided? Did they 听 anything that you heard? What 声 were 独特 to either of you?


活动 Two•Listen again to the 录制 soundscapes in the quiz above

What is it in these 声 that allow you to 识别 the location?
Consider the 音高 时值 模式 and 声波 品质 of the 声
