Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a GPS-enabled work of public sound art that gives users a customized soundtrack for their walk. Subtly shifting compositions change along with users’ paths to reflect their environment.
SOUNDWALK's creator is the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid. UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance presented the Griffith Park version of the app.
In an interview with the UCLA Arts podcast Works In Progress, Reid explains how she made SOUNDWALK, how walking and jogging are part of her composing process, and what makes LA a great city in which to compose music.
