Sound Steps is a European cooperative initiative developing a transnational framework for geolocated sound creation, bringing together digital innovation, artistic experimentation and citizen participation.
Working at the intersection of immersive audio, public space and storytelling, the project aims to open up new ways of exploring and engaging with places through sound. It seeks to address the need for shared tools, inclusive methodologies and sustainable models in the field of geolocated sound art, while unlocking its potential as a driver of social, cultural and environmental transformation.
Led by a consortium of five organisations from France, Spain, Italy, Romania and Germany, Sound Steps will foster collaboration between artists, cultural professionals, public authorities and local stakeholders. Its objectives include providing training and support for cultural practitioners, as well as developing collaborative soundwalks that explore themes such as memory, ecology and inclusion.
At the heart of this shared infrastructure is GOH, the mobile application developed by Les Ensembles 2.2 for the creation and distribution of geolocated sound works in public spaces.
Art leads. Ethics structures. Economy sustains.
These three principles are at the core of Sound Steps and guide the way the project develops. Artistic practice comes first, while inclusive ways of working and shared ethical standards provide the foundations for collaboration. A sustainable economic model, in turn, helps ensure that artistic ambition can thrive over time.
