Walking Festival of Sound : Artist Walk / Patrick Farmer

Walking Festival of Soundis a transdisciplinary, nomadic event exploring the role of walking through and listening to our everyday surroundings. It combines a number of free events including walking performances, walking seminars, listening sessions, and artist talks which take place in diverse offline and online spaces. Walking Festival of Sound facilitates a meeting point for an international network of practitioners and researchers interested in sound and walking in an expanded context.

In 2019 the festival takes place in two cities, Stockholm and Newcastle. In 2021, the festival moved to Krakow and Edinburgh. In 2022, the event takes place in Seoul and Vancouver.Walking Festival of Sound was founded by Jacek Smolicki and Tim Shaw.

Walking Festival of Sound

Walking Festival of Sounds invites for an artist walk with artist, writer, and scholar Patrick Farmer

Patrick Farmer will use this moment as a chance to speak about walking by speaking about tinnitus, and speak about tinnitus by speaking about walking. As he explains: &quot;walking for me is metabolic, an affective register in which the whole body guides me. I wrote my first three books whilst walking and as such, walking is almost entirely absent from their pages. To this day I don&#x27;t know what tinnitus is. I wrote my next few books under its influence, and you can hear it rising from their pages. I feel I am at a point now where walking and tinnitus are one and the same practise, so I&#x27;ll also speak about this combination as methodology&quot;.Patrick Farmer is a co-founder of Compost and Height, editor of the new-music journal Wolf Notes, founder of the Sound I’m Particular lecture series and a curator of the audiograft festival. He teaches in Oxford, where he is currently running the On Vibration virtual lecture series, and lives on the Malvern Hills. Farmer has published several books and written music compositions for groups such as Apartment House and the Set Ensemble. Forthcoming projects include To Suckle a Field of Monsters, a book concerned with positioning the hair cells of the inner ear as a model for the recomposing notion of human identity, and a chapter for a new book on Aural Diversity, published by Routledge in October 2021.Walking Festival of Sound is a transdisciplinary event exploring the role of walking through and listening to our everyday surroundings.
