Chromic Duo brings the stories of Wave Hill’s ACE's Students to reflect upon this current moment history with sound design, narration and composition. “The Hill We Climb” is a film soundtrack that unfolds as users walk along the Woodland Trail of Wave Hill.
The ACES stories speak to individual and collective experiences, creating a storytelling capsule. Through communal creation and connection, Chromic Duo creates a platform for visitors of the garden to reflect on the ways seasons bring change, and while change remains a constant, offers visitors a new way to reflect on how to support one another through times of uncertainty and to build a future arched towards collective liberation.
The soundwalk takes listeners through a guided walk in the Herbert & Hyonja Abrons Woodland trail and unfolds through augmented reality (AR) audio accessed with Gesso, an app available via iOS and Android.
