Soundwalk Collective Explained

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]

Work

Composition

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.

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]

Notable Collaborations

Since their foundation, Soundwalk Collective have collaborated with numerous musicians including American singer, songwriter and poet Patti Smith, Ethiopian Jazz musician Mulatu Astatke, American photographer Nan Goldin, French-Swiss film director Jean-Luc Godard, minimalist composer, Philip Glass, film director, Abel Ferrera, and French pop singer and actor, Charlotte Gainsbourg.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

They have also written original scores for contemporary dance choreographer Sasha Waltz.[15] [16]
