Pure auditory pleasure, like an orchestra in your backpack
The Griffith Park Soundwalk is pure auditory pleasure, like carrying a concert hall in your backpack. You hear different original musical themes as the terrain around you changes, all newly composed and appropriate to the surroundings. At times you hear the Kronos Quartet, other times ambient synthesizer music, all changing as you explore. There are a few Easter eggs hidden around the park; to hear them, you must approach certain landmarks, monuments or statues.* The catch is, you have have GPS enabled, and be on the trails in the park or it won’t play. I tried about 6 or 7 miles on a cool, sunny winter morning; I want to go back on a foggy day, or even in the rain. (*Spoiler Alert: for one example, walk up to the Astronomers Monument.)
