The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk

The Gaits: A High Line Soundwalk is a free, downloadable smartphone application that features a score of electric guitar chords, zen gongs and more composed by Lainie Fefferman, Jascha Narveson and Cameron Britt. As participants walk, footsteps are turned into instrumental sounds as they move through a series of composed spaces along the High Line. Produced by Friends of the High Line in association with Make Music New York; software development by Daniel Iglesia and with special thanks to MATA.

To join the fun, download the iPhone application and arrive promptly at 4:30 PM on the High Line at the southern end, at Gansevoort and Washington Streets. Together the group will walk north along the mile-long park.

If you own a small portable speaker, bring it along to use during the soundwalk, or be one of the first 50 participants to arrive at the meeting location to borrow a free, wearable speaker for the duration of the event.

For those who need elevator access, enter the High Line via the elevator at West 16th Street and 10th Avenue, and walk south toward Gansevoort Street.

This High Line Program is free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP required, and this event will be held rain or shine.

The walk begins at the High Line’s southern end – at Gansevoort and Washington Streets – and ends at West 30th Street.
