A Sound Map Of Harrogate
by The Stray Walkers
“A Sound Map Of Harrogate” isn’t just a project; it’s a journey through the auditory landscape of my hometown. By carefully geolocating sounds, I’ve created an immersive experience that allows you to explore Harrogate in a way you’ve never done before – through its very heartbeat. From the murmurs of the farmer’s market to the gentle hum of the evening breeze, every sound is a piece of Harrogate’s intricate puzzle. And I’m inviting you to piece it together.

ABOUT THIS SHOW
“A Sound Map Of Harrogate” isn’t just a project; it’s a journey through the auditory landscape of my hometown. By carefully geolocating sounds, I’ve created an immersive experience that allows you to explore Harrogate in a way you’ve never done before – through its very heartbeat. From the murmurs of the farmer’s market to the gentle hum of the evening breeze, every sound is a piece of Harrogate’s intricate puzzle. And I’m inviting you to piece it together.
