In-Person: Take a Soundwalk

Explore sounds and rhythms of our urban and natural word by taking a silent, focused walk in local park. In partnership with Atlantic Center for the Arts. Registration required. 18+

Explore the sounds and rhythms of our urban and natural world by taking a silent, focused walk led by Eve Payor, Atlantic Center for the Arts. A soundwalk is beneficial to relieve stress, gain focus, and develop a deeper understanding of how we fit into the ecosystem of our environment.

Please meet rain or shine at 10:00 AM sharp at the Shadow Bay Park located at 5100 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando 32819. Do not come to the Southwest Library.  Park and gather by the “traditional-looking” playground (the playground next to the exercise equipment area). Watch for the sign.  Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Please note: Some parts of the walk may take place on unlevel ground.

Limited to 20 participants. Registration required to secure your spot.

Eve Payor (aka Lady Eve) is a musician and soundscape artist working as an arts administrator for Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Her arts advocacy focuses on the connection between music, environment, accessibility and wellness. In 2016 she began to lead an ongoing series of soundwalks, which gives the public opportunities to experience natural surroundings through listening techniques, meditative breathing, and contemplative focus. In recent years, the soundwalk program has grown into an artist residency called the ACA Soundscape Field Station at Canaveral National Seashore, and an accessibility program for blind and partially sighted youth called Young Sound Seekers, sponsored by the National Park Service. These programs highlight the growing importance of environmental sound (soundscape) on the quality of health for all living creatures. As a musician and soundscape artist, she uses field recordings, electronic music, spoken word, and classical oboe in her compositions and collaborations. She has performed at the Mutek Mexico Festival, 800 East Atlanta Art Collective, been a curator at Vancouver’s alternative performance festival: Signal & Noise, and produced her Pan Ambient event series with Seattle’s Decibel Festival. In 2016, she produced an interactive gallery exhibition called Watercolors in Sound at Atlantic Center for the Arts showcasing a sound/video/photography installation of field recordings from the New Smyrna Beach soundwalks. Eve has been a featured artist-in-residence at Hambidge Center in North Georgia, Serenbe AIR in Chattahoochee Hills Georgia, and a featured artist at Timucua Arts Foundation Orlando, and the Atlanta Science Festival. As an active Zazen practitioner, she incorporates meditation and subtle awareness throughout her artistic endeavors.
