Everyone is invited in real time from different parts of the globe, to engage in a guided meditation, followed by a guided walk.This audio guide takes you for a short excursion, and is an attempt at facilitating a connection between the mind, body, and your environment. 

After the walk, the listener is prompted to :
Take a photo of where you ended up
Send us an audio recording/voice note on what you heard - describe it in words or record the actual sounds! 
Email to sanaya@foundsoundnation.org or upload to https://bit.ly/3BzxSdc

At the end of the piece, we’ll create a playlist of these crowd sourced field recordings from various parts of the globe.

OneBeat is an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, & produced by Bang on a Can’s Found Sound Nation.

Found Sound Nation (FSN) is a collective of musicians and artists who leverage the unique power of creative sound-making to help build strong, just, healthy communities. We believe that the art of listening extends far beyond the practice of making music — it is one of the major ways we can become aware of the beauty, tragedy, and hidden potential present in our neighborhoods, institutions and families. Our work emphasizes a mobile, accessible, collaborative way of recording and producing professional quality music, a technique developed by combining the innovative art music traditions of musique concréte, hip hop, audio-journalism, and contemporary composition. This method is highly adaptable to different environments, based on finding the unique sounds and resonances of each space, drawing upon the talents of musicians in the local scene, and examining issues most relevant to each community.
