Sonic Peaks is an adventure with experimental music and ultra-distance hiking. My name is Payton MacDonald. I’m a musician, filmmaker, and endurance athlete. This TRAILER explains the project.

Over the next few years I plan to summit the 146 highest mountains in the Northeastern part of the United States. I’m going to start with the Catskills 35. If that goes well, then I’ll do the Northeast 111. The Catskills 35 includes 35 mountains over 3,500 feet and the Northeast 111 are 111 mountains over 4,000 feet.
I plan to create a graphic score for each peak, that reflects the feelings/experiences I had on a given peak or collection of peaks if I do several in one day. And I’ll make some short films about this whole journey. Here is an example of one of those scores, from when I hiked Peekamoose and Table mountains:
