Griffith Park SOUNDWALK (Los Angeles)

Ellen Reid SOUNDWALK is a free, GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the natural environment of L.A.'s Griffith Park. Created by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid, the experience is guided by the listener: the path you choose dictates the music you hear, and no two visits will be exactly the same. After installing the free app and downloading the Griffith Park SOUNDWALK, participants can explore the park, triggering musical cells that are carefully crafted to harmonize with the park's landscape and attractions. Ellen Reid's newly-written, cinematic score was rendered remotely by a patchwork of artists from across the country, and features a world-premiere recording by Kronos Quartet created specifically for Griffith Park. SOUNDWALK can be experienced while following social distancing guidelines and will be available free of charge to park visitors through 2023.
