Campus Echoes is a new, interactive sonic experience which enables people to stop still and engage with our campus in a new way.
How often do we listen to our surroundings? Do we sit, think, and engage with the world around us? Campus Echoes is a new, interactive experience where music creators, composers, and sound artists from the Department of Music have been tasked to create short pieces of music to be heard and experienced at different locations around our campus. These new responses to these locations, from woodland to buildings, enable us to stop and engage with our campus in a different way - as if our campus has echoes of music and conversations from times gone by.
These new soundscapes and musical tracks have been created specially for this experience by Friyan Bajan, Philipp Barth, Tom Baynes, Lucy Griffiths, Fred Haines, Julianna Hinton, Hannah Lam, Kosuke Mikami, Elijah Olukoya, Joshua Wen, and Killian Wright.
How to engage with this experience?
You can interact with this experience at any time that is convenient for you. This experience consists of a walk around various spots across our Egham campus, with accompanying music along the way. Throughout the walk, you will find QR codes to scan that will take to new music for you to engage with. It is advised that you use headphones to listen to the music on your personal device. However, you can also find the music and their corresponding locations here: Campus Echoes: The experience (royalholloway.ac.uk)
