Experiments with geolocating sound and video recordings
Youtube: Sussex GPX Audio Test
Audio thoughts from Firle Beacon turning towards Charleston
In this test, a GPX track is linked to an audio file recorded on site. It follows along a section of the Southdowns Way heading east from Southease as it turns towards a rights-of-way footpath to Charleston. At the start and end of the recording, coordinates were saved on the GPS device.
This route travels along two tumuli (ancient burial mounds) and a long barrow (larger burial mounds). The mounds are covered in hedges composed mainly of Hawthorn trees. The audio starts with a brief introduction to the activity and procedures – later there is a description of the location, some comments on this method, reflections on the practices (procedures, methods) emerging through walking, as well as speculation on how these processes may effect the reception and (personal) impact of the project.
