The Sonic Unconscious - Yolande Harris, Scorescapes
The Sonic Unconscious brings together three artists whose work begins in the field: Jana Winderen, Yolande Harris and Gina Badger.
Yolande Harris's Scorescapes is a program including the pieces Tuning In / Spacing Out, a collaboration with Edward Shanken, Fishing for Sound, and S.W.A.M.P., with Kato Hideki, Jim Pugliese, &; William Lang.
Tuning In / Spacing Out: Collaboration with Edward Shanken
Yolande Harris's Tuning in and Spacing Out: the Art and Science of the Presentness of Sound is a collaborative lecture/performance that explores sound and space as modes of understanding environmental phenomena. Edward Shanken and Yolande Harris draw on artistic sources ranging from Alvin Lucier and La Monte Young to Pauline Oliveros and David Dunn and on scientific research from Jim Crutchfield (complexity) and Michel André (marine bioacoustics). Blending text, sound and video, they weave together the mythic significance of marine mammals, the interconnectedness of the sea and outer-space, and the relationship between ultrasound, insects, and global climate change.
Fishing for Sound
Fishing for Sound creates a sea of spatial connections between phenomena underwater, in the mind, and from outer-space, weaving sounds from marine environments, psychotherapy and sonified navigation satellites. Common to each of these is a mass of background noise - of environment, memory and information - where listening is like fishing for sounds.
S.W.A.M.P. / Field
with Kato Hideki (electric bass), Jim Pugliese (drums) &; William Lang (trombone)
A third version of S.W.A.M.P. (Some Wayward Attempts at Monitoring Prawns) (after Diapason Gallery, NYC 2009, and Mazzoli Gallery, Berlin 2010), explores the edges between field recording and acoustic improvisation. In combination with Field, environmental and underwater sounds, from biological to anthropogenic, lead to a state of mind that builds on the daydream and the surreal.
Yolande Harris (UK) uses her performances, installations and instruments to investigate how we use sound to relate to our surroundings, both architectural and ecological. Her current research/practice considers the musical potential of sound worlds outside the human hearing range, through underwater bioacoustics and the sonification of data.
Edward A. Shanken (US) writes and teaches about the entwinement of art, science and technology, with a focus on interdisciplinary practices involving new media. He edited and wrote the introduction to a collection of essays by Roy Ascott, Telematic Embrace: Visionary Theories of Art, Technology and Consciousness (University of California Press, 2003, reprinted 2007). His critically praised survey, Art and Electronic Media, was published by Phaidon Press in 2009, reprinted 2010.
Kato Hideki (Kato:family name; Hideki: given) is a Japanese-born composer/bassist/multi-instrumentalist, who lives in NYC. He is the co-founder of Death Ambient with Ikue Mori &; Fred Frith. His other groups as a lea...
