Musical art collective From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soundwalk Collective is an international experimental sound art collective founded in 2001 by Stephan Crasneanscki, who was joined by Simone Merli in 2008. The group is based in Berlin and New York.[1][2] They have engaged in collaborations with other musicians such as the American singer Patti Smith on the Perfect Vision Trilogy.[3][4][5]
Soundwalk Collective’s musical work emerges from a multidisciplinary approach rooted primarily in psycho- geography and in the exploration of recording and synthesis. Elements of observation of nature, non-linear narrative, ethnography, and anthropology are intertwined in their work.[citation needed]
In order to create following this approach they have travelled across the world from cities to remote locations for long periods of investigation and fieldwork to source the unique materials that form the core of their work.[6][7][8][9]
