Ha =96 great quote!
FWIW, here's a seminal text about soundwalking by Hildegard
Westerkamp...might provide some inspiration:

tml
There's another text here in which Westerkamp discusses the idea of
combining soundwalks + radio:

ting-moving-environmental-sound-narratives/
Despite my earlier comment, I do think it's interesting to listen to
recordings of soundwalks, but after the fact..searching for parallels and
differences between what was heard in situ and what's evoked by a recording
of the act.
Anyway =96 good luck with this!
