In October 2022, The Well launched Neighborhood Songlines, a community-oriented sound art project led by Jenn Howd based in two Cincinnati neighborhoods. Jenn & The Well hosted two sound-collecting events, asking the favorite sounds of households and businesses— the clanking of bottles in The Gaslight Cafe, the coos of mourning doves by Wavepool Art Gallery, the twinkling of wind chimes on a front porch, children laughing, ocean waves, and much more.
Jenn used these sounds to create two tracks of new music for The Well’s national Mindful Music Moments program–bringing daily mindfulness and music into 300+ schools nationwide. LISTEN HERE.
Jenn also created interactive SonicMaps, which use your phone’s GPS to play the favorite sounds we collected as you stroll through the Cincinnati neighborhood. You can also access and interact with the SonicMap from home using the links below. If you plan on using the SonicMap, we recommend you download it prior to going on your walking tour in case your connection is spotty.

Neighborhood Songlines is supported by the Ohio Arts Council and the Arts Midwest GIG Fund.
Jenn has collaborated with The Well on several different projects in the past, including co-composing with Ben Sloan the very popular Fiona’s Lullaby for The Field Recordings Project, supported by the Ohio Arts Council and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
