How well do you know your neighbourhood? When was the last time you took a stroll or a run through your local streets and parks with your eyes and ears wide open, looking afresh at the people and places around you?

Whether you’re looking to explore the neighbourhood, take a gentle stroll or go for an energetic run, Soundpaths takes the sounds and voices of the community and transforms them into an unforgettable atmospheric journey. Soundpaths is an audio App for your phone created by musician Yonatan Collier using GPS.
