Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK
featuring Kronos Quartet
“[Ellen] Reid, in a word, has arrived” — Los Angeles Times
Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a free, GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the natural environment of L.A.’s Griffith Park. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid, the experience is guided by the listener: the path you choose dictates the music you hear, and no two visits will be exactly the same. After downloading the free app and putting on their headphones, participants can explore the park, triggering musical cells that are carefully crafted to harmonize with the park’s landscape and attractions.
Ellen Reid's newly-written, cinematic score was rendered remotely by a patchwork of artists from across the country, and features a world-premiere recording by Kronos Quartet created specifically for Griffith Park.
This event is presented by the UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance.
Event Date: SOUNDWALK goes live Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021 and will be available through 2023
Platform: Griffith Park
Price: Free
