Take an immersive audio heritage walk around Brunswick Square, Hove, as historian Nick Tyson narrates points of interest, complimented by Anna’s own music compositions, sound effects and dialogue. Listeners would start on the red dot and create their own audio guide narrative. This is a PhD final prototype testing new technology not yet experienced in England, more details on the experience can be found at 'annacedmonds.com/recollections'. The soundwalk is available to listen to on-site through:

Coal Holes

This is a dawn and dusk soundwalk with a combination of binaural and 3D recorded sounds, containing music, poetry, dialogue and sound effects, presented at Heritage Open Days in September 2021. It was the first large-scale public soundwalk Anna organised as par of her PhD research. The music was written and arranged through a selection of inerwined piano motifs, appearing and disappearing throughout the walk. A composition by resident blue plaque composer Roger Quilter titled 'Come Away Death' was also influential to select musical works within it.
Dawn walkers - begin at The Regency Town House, go left once you reach the square and work your way round clockwise, taking pauses where you like (listen back to front of album - Dawn Start)
Dusk walkers - begin at The Regency Town House, go right once you have entered the square, and work through the walk anticlockwise, taking pauses where you like (listen front to back of album - Dusk Start).
Acknowledgements: The Unitarian Church in Brighton for the use of their beautiful Steinway piano, The Actually Gay Men's Choir for their rendition of Pie Jesu, all the contributors to the Brunswick Town Open Call, with a particular thank you to the contributor of the early 1900s album of poetry and well wishes, once owned by Palmeira-based WWI service-girl Annie.

Note: All tracks here are mp3 mixdowns of the orginal wav tracks, so spatialisation and quality may sound different.
