Explore the nuance of Chicago’s most historical sonic landscapes while creating your own sound map of the West Pullman nature area with musician and sound artist Andy Slater.

Led by sight impaired sound artist and musician Andy Slater will lead guests to consider sound as a sonic photograph captured by the ears of the listener. Like a photo, the sounds can show emotion and perception, nuance and texture. These sounds will be treated with more importance than basic documentation of a simple moment in time.

Connected with Slater’s Sound As Sight project, this soundwalk encourages both blind and sighted people to appreciate sonic art and create work of their own.

The Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology (MSAE), established in 2009, is a membership organization dedicated to exploring the role of sound in natural habitats and human societies, while promoting public dialogue concerning the identification, preservation, and restoration of natural and cultural sound environments.

MSAE realizes it mission through local initiatives in agreement with the common aims and goals of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE). These include public soundwalks, educational workshops, and creative and scholarly productions. We work in partnership with the National Park Service, Center for Humans and Nature, Chicago Park District, Chicago Wilderness, Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods, Mixage Fou, and World Listening Project, among others.
