PROJECT Details

 

A musical shortcut through a park, this pathway is formed by a series of five bollards marked with inset linework, inviting passersby to uncover sounds, rhythms, and lights. The interactive soundtrack incorporates student recordings from the neighboring Cane Ridge High School Marching Band, the Rhythmic Ravens.

Using the measurements of a marching band, lines on the ground show people where to step. Rhythm is the foundation to the experience: it helps people intuitively synchronise movements. As people walk and circle around the bollards, the music becomes richer and more complex. With increasing footfall and simultaneous exploration, compositions emerge, with musical flourishes unlocked through deeper exploration and cooperation. The title, ‘Whistle, Two, Ready!’ are the words used by the Rhythmic Ravens to cue all the musicians to start playing.
