Sounds That Carry
A SOUND MAPPING WORKSHOP
SUNDAY, MAY 21, 2023
12-1:30 PM AT 267 WESTERN AVE
What are the special sounds that surround us? What sounds define your special place? Is it the sound of drip coffee? Your partner’s voice? Sometimes, the simplest sounds are the most remarkable. Olivia and Renate led attendees through listening exercises and map-making activities that taught us about the unique sounds in Allston.
