Met Sound Walk: 9:09 John Luther Adams….
To The Listener:
A Note from John Luther Adams
It's a well-worn cliché that the streets of the city are noisy. 
But what happens when we decide to listen to the sounds around us not as noise, but as musical voices?
Suddenly, the whole city becomes an enveloping, never-ending piece of music. 
As we walk the streets with open ears, we hear far more than an undifferentiated roar. We discover much more detail than we might imagine—innumerable small sounds and unexpected pools of stillness. At times we can almost hear the city breathing. 
These two Soundwalks are an invitation to listen more deeply to the music of the city.
All the sounds were recorded in the streets between The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Breuer. In composing these pieces I’ve added nothing more, but simply sculpted and filtered these street sounds to reveal resonances that lie hidden around us all the time.
Listening carefully you may pick out the faint aura of human voices, the ubiquitous chipping of sparrows, echoes from a distant trumpeter, the melodic contours of a jackhammer, or bell tones emanating from the airbrakes of a passing bus.
These pieces are not complete until you are present—listening, walking your own route, and creating your own unique mix with the sounds you encounter.
The ideal listening balance between the "live" and recorded sounds is one in which you aren't always certain whether a sound you're hearing is coming from your ear buds, your imagination, or from the streets around you.

Of Bodies and Spirits: Soundscapes of Byzantine Thessaloniki



http://hyperallergic.com/279695/an-acoustic-museum-of-byzantine-sound/
The sonic intentions of architecture are often lost over the centuries. In 2014, a team of researchers investigated the acoustics of Byzantine churches in Thessaloniki, Greece, to retrieve some of that design through sound mapping....

Blank Forms is excited to announce Labyrinth Gives Way to Skin, the first in a series of ongoing programs dedicated to exploring the work of pioneering sound artist Maryanne Amacher. Lead by Robert The and Bill Dietz the seminar will investigate Amacher’s rigorous experimental investigation of the psychoacoustic dimensions of perception that she began to develop while a fellow at MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies. The seminar will be followed by a listening session comprised of entirely unpublished audio, accompanied by illuminating and likewise unpublished images of scores, notes, and texts selected from the Amacher Archive.
 
American composer and artist Maryanne Amacher (1938 - 2009) is known for her pioneering work in acoustics and architectural installation. She studied in the 1960s with Karlheinz Stockhausen. Her early experiments into the relationship between sound and space led her to a life-long exploration the physiological conditions of hearing. Her body of work spans the telematic City Links series, her investigation of otoacoustic emissions, through to her later exploration of architecturally staged "narrative" presentation formats. Commissioners and collaborators included John Cage, Marvin Minsky, Merce Cunningham, and the Kronos Quartet. In 2005 she received the Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica Distinction in Computer Music, the festival's highest honor. She presented work in solo and group contexts at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Casa de Serralves, Porto, Portugal; Whitney Biennial (2002); Kunsthalle, Basel; Galerie Nachst St. Stephan, Vienna; Kunstmuseum, Bern; Kunsthalle, Krems; Panasonic Hall, Tokyo; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. 
 
Blank Forms is a new curatorial platform initiated by former ISSUE Project Room Artistic Director (2012-2016) Lawrence Kumpf. Dedicated to the presentation and preservation of time-based performance practices that fall outside  of conventional institutional support systems and traditional disciplines. Working through a variety of curatorial approaches including, but not limited to, online and print publishing, public performances, exhibitions, educational workshops, seminars and residencies, Blank Forms will unveil a series of exciting new projects in 2016.
