Soundwalk Collective

Soundwalk Collective is an artistic collective founded in New York by Stephan Crasneanscki in 2000, joined by Simone Merli in 2008 and Kamran Sadeghi. Soundwalk is a nomad of sound, tirelessly undertaking improbable journeys from the wastelands of Bessarabia to the desert of Rub al-Khali. By exploring and sampling the sounds of the world around us, Soundwalk captures fragments of a shifting reality to form singular sound compositions. Soundwalk received the Audie Award for its collaboration with Afrika Bambaataa in the Bronx, and the Dalton Pen Award for the Sonic Memorial Soundwalk with Paul Auster at Ground Zero, New York. Soundwalk has multiplied its interdisciplinary collaborations with Patti Smith, Mulatu Astatke, Nan Goldin, Jean-Luc Godard and Sasha Waltz.
