In the latest Soundtrails conversation, founder Hamish Sewell speaks with sound and media artist Teri Rueb, a pioneer of GPS based interactive and locative media whose work has explored the relationship between sound, landscape, memory and technology since the 1990s.
Their conversation moves from Aboriginal songlines and oral traditions to the power of the human voice, the sounds of the natural world, and the challenge of preserving place based experiences as technologies continually change.
At the heart of the discussion is a question that matters deeply to us at Soundtrails: How can technology deepen our relationship with place rather than distance us from it?
Teri describes sound as visceral, immersive and invisible, and reflects on the importance of experiences that ask us to move through a landscape, listen closely and make meaning through our own encounters.
At a time when AI can turn almost anything into content, Hamish and Teri also explore something increasingly precious: the human voice connected to the place where a story belongs.
Every place carries stories. Every story carries memory. Soundtrails gives us a way to listen.
