OVERTOON INVITATION – TRACKS AUDIOWALKS

On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 August, various guided audiowalks will take place in Brussels. Jubilee, Beursschouwburg, BNA-BBOT, Overtoon, Q-O2, and Soundtrackcity are happy to invite you to these sample walks, a foretaste of the smartphone app TRACKS. This app for audiowalks is now in testing phase and will be presented to the public soon.

Audiowalks are GPS-triggered walks thoughtfully combined with the sensory attention of listening. They offer stories, music, sound experiments, and all kinds of sensory information you might otherwise miss. Sight, scent, and feeling are present, but sounds take the lead. This modulates one's usual sense of body and consciousness, promoting a new understanding of the environment. With every step, hear the artist play with sound, experiment with composition, and lead you to new perceptions. Think of a film, where sound and image are strongly linked and controlled by the artist. In audiowalks, the 'point of view' becomes the 'point of hearing'.

Overtoon showcases the audiowalk Un champ au milieu by Yannick Guédon.
