SoundScene 2024 Aural Album

STAY CALM COMIC PODCAST

Aural album I made from my field recordings at SoundScene 2024 at the Hirshhorn. Outside, in a concrete enclosed plaza, a band performs "Talk" Inside a small auditorium, a sparse forest of pipes dot a stage. The pipes breathe sounds as visitors reach out with their hands to close the distance. In a large circular hallway, visitors sit quietly, wearing headbands that turn their collective heart rates and brainwaves into music. Around the curve, someone plays with a microphone in the middle of a ring of speakers. Back in the auditorium, a solo violinist performs her own compositions with herself using loop pedals. Outside in the plaza, the positive feedback of a bell rings out. -- https://www.soundscene.org/artworks -Clear Channel performance by Awad Bilal, Don Godwin, Mary Jane Regalado -Heike Kaltenbrunner's close| distant https://kaltenbrunner.klingt.org/close_distant -Jason Snell's Pulses https://www.primary-assembly.com/ -David Greenfieldboyce's What Goes Around, Comes Around -Luminous Being performance by Audrey Wright, Geoff Robertson https://audreywrightviolin.com/luminousbeing -radiance & resonance performance by Claire Alrich, Andrew Toy
