Gesso is a new way to explore cities with audio that plays based on your location. Here, you'll find audio experiences anywhere from an immersive moving play, to cinematic soundwalks, to countercultural audio tours that invite you to feel the pulse of the city. As a creator and publisher of site-specific audio content, we celebrate 'place' and the people who shaped it in New York, San Francisco, Florence, Venice, and Rome.
Named after the primer layer artists apply to a canvas before they tell their stories, Gesso (sounds like: JEH-so) makes next-gen audio guides that go under the surface of a city and through the halls of the most forward-thinking museums.

“I recently had a chance to take one of their audio guided tours through Williamsburg. And it was one of the greatest walking adventures of my lifetime. And I’ve walked around in nearly 24 countries. This app was magic and the content nothing less than brilliant.” -minnianda
“I’m an avid art lover and museum goer. This app has brought many fascinating insights to my attention and I can’t wait to explore all it offers!” -anonyogi
"Incredibly interesting and enjoyable guided audio tour of Prospect Park. Seamless location based tour with great narration and historical facts. Such a good way to take in some history about Brooklyn (and I’m a resident). Would be excellent for tourists and visitors as well. Highly recommend!"
