I am in the process of migrating to a new website. In the meantime, check out some of my more recent projects at http://abbyaresty.tumblr.com/.

Documentation is up from the two (technically three!) soundwalks I led in Grinnell, IA and Tempe, AZ last month.  Find out more about The Listening Path II at the link below: https://sites.google.com/site/thelisteningpathii/home 

I had a really wonderful year last year as a Fellow at the Frank-Ratchye Studio for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon working on a project for the Center for Sustainable Landscapes at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, and teaching a course on sound art at CMU. Below are a couple of links to articles about the project, which I will continue to work on from afar in my new position as a postdoc at Grinnell College.
