"Winter Walking" is an artistic performance related to a 4-month daily walking practice I embarked on while experiencing winter in Canada in 2022. The piece is a response to my attempt at multispecies listening, combining the sounds of snow, ice, footsteps, magpies, coyotes, and other beings and writers with whom I was in listening conversation. I first created "Winter Walking" as an 8-channel sound piece at the University of Alberta's Sound Studies Institute. The track here is a stereo (2-channel) version designed for participatory walking. Take a listen and walk along!

Step outside, slip on your headphones, and let's take a walk together. "The Living Machine" is one of five short, guided journeys that explore the nature of time and the ecology of Singapore through soil, sound, and water. Created by artists Christa Donner and Andrew Yang, each track in the series "Listening Through the Landscape" merges narration with environmental sounds collected during the 2020 Circuit Breaker period, transforming everyday spaces into multisensory journeys. Use the links here to experience your own neighborhood in a new way. Originally produced for the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art, made possible through an artist residency at Yale NUS College.
