Natural History Soundwalk
add to outlook add to google calendar remind me
When was the last time you really listened to the sounds all around you and heard the complexities and richness of the soundscape of nature, the city or the museum? Join composer and intermedia artists Tina Pearson and Paul Walde for an afternoon of sound exploration. If you are interested in using sound to become more intimately aware of your environment then this soundwalk is for you.
About the presenters: Tina Pearson is a wilderness-bred composer, performer and facilitator whose work plays with sonic phenomena, communications between species, cultures and identities, and the relationships between creators, performers and audiences. Paul Walde is an intermedia artist, composer, and curator. Walde’s body of work suggests unexpected interconnections between landscape, identity, and technology and includes painting, photography, printmaking, video, installation, and audio. Tina and Paul first worked together when paired to collaborate at the Royal BC Museum’s event “Sight and Sound” in 2012. It was a match made in musical heaven. To see images from that event and hear examples of the music, follow this link. About the Soundwalk: The workshop will involve time in the Natural History gallery at the Royal BC Museum as well as time in Beacon Hill Park. Come prepared to be outside. This workshop is most suitable for teens and adults.
About Music for Natural History: Through careful cataloguing, research and transcription, sound artists Tina Pearson and Paul Walde of have created a performance piece from sounds of the flora and fauna represented in the two main natural history dioramas at the Royal BC Museum. The result will be performed January 15 and 16, 2016 and features local musicians and community members using instruments, objects and voices in unusual ways.
Learn more about the project or even become part of the process by taking part in this soundwalk and the Sonic Mimicry Workshop on November 14.
