Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a free, GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the natural environment. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid, the experience is guided by the listener: the path you choose dictates the music you hear, and no two visits will be exactly the same. After installing the free app and downloading the Britt Festival Orchestra SOUNDWALK, participants can explore the covered area, triggering musical cells that are carefully crafted to harmonize with the landscape and attractions.
