He grew up around Webb Avenue in the 50s and 60s, so of course I had to interview him, and this was the opportunity to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe talks about what Black Hill was like then, going adventuring and skinny-dipping in what was the Yarrowee Creek,\u201d Tsilemanis laughed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt goes through to people who moved here more recently, like Neil, who\u2019s really involved with native and local plantings in the area, and I\u2019ve also researched the mining history, so there\u2019s different layers of the Hill shared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Contributors, including Westlake who lives at the end of Tsilemanis\u2019 street, have supplied audio files for curation, with some in-person interviews between stage three restriction periods to keep the production COVID safe.<\/p>\n<p>Tsilemanis is energised to create a flexible work where each listener will have a unique experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re walking through the space, something that you\u2019re hearing might have a chance encounter with something that you\u2019re seeing on your walk,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s best with headphones, and if you can\u2019t get out of your house that\u2019s okay, all you have to do is listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tsilemanis has produced various audio works over the past few years, including a theatrical tour of the Ballarat Railway Station. An upcoming project involves her second-hand store.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m making a Minerva\u2019s Books and Ideas podcast which people can look out for, so this audio tour gives people a taste of what my style is like, putting people into immersive, experiential, creative work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/amytsilemanis.com.au\"><strong>amytsilemanis.com.au<\/strong><\/a> to access the <em>Webb Avenue and Black Hill <\/em>audio walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RECORDED noises and voices are sharing a neighbourhood\u2019s stories within a sensory walk.
