Weekly live improvised ambient music featuring David and Kenji Garland, Dan Kirkhus, Jimmy Garver, Rodney Greenblat and guest performers. Enjoy coffee and breakfast while floating on a cushion of ambient sound by adventurous musicians.

Every Monday at 7:30 p.m. No previous singing experience is required. For most of us, our voice is our most important medium of expression. With this voice we can sing, we can praise, we can express joy or pain, and we can teach. But often, our relationship with our voice becomes disconnected. We underestimate the effect our voice has on our bodies and our lives. This workshop is a doorway into reconnecting with your voice and expressing yourself more fully. Through a series of simple tones, or notes sung for long periods, we gently begin to observe the relationships between the voice, the body, the breath, and the self. This workshop is not affiliated with any spiritual practice. All people are welcome, and no singing experience is required. There is a short introduction and instruction, followed by 30 minutes of a guided toning series, and open discussion afterward (optional). Open to the public, but donations are graciously accepted. Facilitated by teacher/composer/musician Sean Cronin. Information at tonesingingworkshop@gmail.com.

Voices_in_Transmission: _Immersive_Radio_Phantom_Words

Voices_in_Transmission: _Immersive_Radio_Phantom_Words aims to expand on Diana Deutsch's psychoacoustic phenomenon "Phantom Words" incorporating spatiality, multi-channeling, diverse languages, voices, and syllables into the exploration. The primary goal is to create a comprehensive sound bank using recordings exclusively from local radio stations to investigate the radio's role in auditory perception and neurological responses in the creation of phantom words. The project will explore how radio samples, including background music and sound effects, contribute to the perception of phantom words. Additionally, the project will enhance spatiality by incorporating several radio receivers and examining the electro-acoustic chain's impact on perception. Raventós will be joined in-residence with her Acoustic Heritage Collective collaborator, Emilio Marx who will contribute as a sound producer and technician. Trained in acoustic engineering, with an interest in acoustic heritage, Marx frequently uses his theoretical background to implement technology that enhances spatial translations.

Anyone can contribute to the project by visiting wavefarm.org/phantom.

TONE FIELD HORIZON

TONE FIELD HORIZON is a performance-installation for the Wave Farm Art Park, as well as a simultaneous radio transmission mixed live from the various points that make up the field. The project uses the Art Park as a spatial instrument. Neumann will install five remote stations, each consisting of a loudspeaker and a microphone. He will use his software instrument Room Tone Generator [RTG] to generate finely tuned tonalities that blend into the nearfield environment. During a culminating public program, on-site audiences will experience the tones in the environment (RTG within an ecosystem) expanding spatiality. Listening gets a tonal anchor for focusing attention as the visitors move through the different acoustic arenas. As visitors walk around the Wave Farm Art Park they experience the shifting acoustic horizon in relation to how close or far they are from the various RTG speakers. The microphones will pick up the altered environment. For off-site radio audiences, all five feeds will be mixed together and output for stereo broadcast over WGXC 90.7-FM and wavefarm.org/listen. This tele-audience will experience a very different acoustic horizon, an all-at-once conglomerate from the different locations.

Sandbar Park (9 Lindenwald Ave.) in Stuyvesant Falls, NY. Columbia County plans to replace the historic Stuyvesant Falls Bridge (a single-lane bridge) with a large 2-lane design that does not suit the context or the needs of our community. The proposed replacement is guaranteed to increase vehicle speeds on Route 25A. We want a SAFE plan! The residents of Stuyvesant are broadly calling for a halt in the consulting engineers’ work and the implementation of a community-based bridge design process. Join us to help save the historic Stuyvesant Falls Bridge!

transmitter2ears

transmitter2ears is a live performance/installation with two parabolic speakers, binaural microphones, radio transmission, and a synthesizer. Together they form an audio-feedback loop, open to the sounds of the environment. A performer/musician equipped with binaural microphones interacts with the audio-field of the highly directive speakers. In this site-specific performance, Fabian Lanzmaier and Andreas Zißler (Vienna) work with audio reflections, directional sound beams and specific resonances, turning the landscape of the Wave Farm Art Park into an instrument.

1:10 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. Live Performance
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Installation

In-person guests:
As the sounds are highly dependent on the location, visitors are invited to wander around and listen from different positions. Note, either Andreas or Fabian will be wearing binaural microphones in their ears feeding the performance (so talking directly to them during the first hour will interrupt the project.)

Radio listeners:
You will be hearing the sounds picked up by the artist’s binaural microphones, and via the radio broadcast experiencing "perspective" of the performer.
