Live from Issue Project Room: Sydney Spann (Audio)

Apr 20, 2022

For her first commissioned work as a 2022 ISSUE Artist-In-Residence, sound artist and musician Sydney Spann presents "Cow, Cow, Cow, Rabbit, Recalcitrance, Bunny, Dog, Dog, Dog" a performance-activated sound installation co-presented with CPR – Center for Performance Research. The piece will premiere at CPR’s space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and stream live on Wave Farm's Standing Wave Radio channel at wavefarm.org/listen.

"Cow, Cow, Cow, Rabbit, Recalcitrance, Bunny, Dog, Dog, Dog" is a performance-activated sound installation using the entirety of CPR's gallery and theater space. Spann will use FM radio baby monitors to receive and diffuse a live performance taking place in one room to another room where the audience will be left to parse through the broadcast music. Additive synthesis is superimposed over feedback swells created with hearing aids, punctuated by rhythms made with electromagnetic microphones and augmented with sung and spoken vocalizations.
