After a lot of time trying to figure out the best option for the distribution of this piece of media, I have come to the decision that online distribution is the best method.

All of the sound files will be accessible via SoundCloud, as well as on cloud storage websites (Google Drive/Mega/DropBox) so that you can either stream or download the audio files for personal use.

The map will also be distributed online and will be labelled with each area. I will make it available on various websites so that it is accessible in multiple ways.

I find that online distribution is the best solution for media as it is then accessible for anyone with an internet connection. I will urge people to go to each of the places to experience the sounds in the area that influenced each of the stories, but even if you are not in the area, it will still be able to have an effect.

My initial idea for how I wanted to present my work was taken from an installation that was at the Sonophilia – sound art festival in 2016. It was called the Headphone installation trail and the main concept of the piece was to show off the history of the areas along a trail, throughout lincoln, via short stories or poems. Each of the pieces was created by a different person and the entire piece was accompanied by an online map showing you the way to travel to each destination.

I like the idea of having a set of individual pieces that are linked in a trail as it gives the listener a route to follow and means that each story can have different feelings and can come to a climactic end at the final place.

However, one thing that I would change is the use of an online map. I think that it would add to the experience if the listener had a paper map that depicted an older version of lincoln, that they could then follow.
