It’s the Summer of Soundwalking. He Is Your Sherpa.

This summer, Jacek Smolicki is guiding people on "soundwalks" to help them appreciate the often-overlooked ambient noises in Central Park. By demonstrating how sound travels through various natural elements, he’s encouraging participants to truly listen rather than just hear. This innovative approach not only highlights the beauty of everyday sounds but also serves as a reminder of our connection to nature. As urban environments grow louder, initiatives like these offer a refreshing, sensory escape and a chance to reconnect with the natural world.
