In two sessions, participants search for sounds that meet certain criteria (i.e. “high, short, loud” or “low, short, soft”) and record them with portable recorders. The sounds will then be used to create an online “sound” map that lists the sounds’ qualities, source, and location, allowing anyone to download the sounds to use in a creative project.
A workshop in which participants move through a series of Pauline Oliveros-inspired sound/meditation exercises designed to attune participants to the sounds around them and develop a richer vocabulary for describing them.
Free lectures led by members of Iceberg New Music Collective. ICEBERG is in residence at Crosstown Arts for two weeks and will be collaborating with Blueshift Ensemble on a series of free concerts, workshops, and lectures. Sponsored by Amro Music.
