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 Regent’s Park & Primrose Hill SOUNDWALK, participants can explore the park, triggering musical cells that are carefully crafted to harmonize with the park’s landscape and environment.
