Mayfest 2015 - A Folded Path

 

A Folded Path is a pedestrian speaker symphony, a soundtrack for the city, carried through the streets by you, experienced by everyone it passes. Comprising of 30 custom-built, location-sensitive portable loudspeakers containing Minirigs, each playing a different element of the music circumstance have composed. One might be playing a voice, another a sweeping violin or glistening electronic tone. In small groups, you will take different routes through the city, coming together at points to create moments of harmony and resonance. The GPS position of the speaker causes different sections of the composition to be played, so the structure of the work resonates with the environments it passes through. The speakers are highly directional so the movement of the people within the group changes the acoustic relationship between them, the audience becomes the orchestra.
