Description

Created site-specifically for Pedion tou Areos, Kormós is a series of time-based site-specific soundwalks though the park - accessed via a custom platform, on your personal mobile device and headphones. The piece immerses participants using binaural environmental recordings, sound design, and original composition. Each walk is based on an individual conversation, recorded in the park, on themes of corporeal experience, physical memory, the sensory world, public and private space, the spirals of recorded time, and the core issues these present and represent.
