Sat Nov 09, 2013 20:00 - Sat Nov 09, 2013

Location:
Toronto, Canada

ImageScape includes works by Vancouver Island collective Meridian and Toronto's Michael Trommer. The fluid abstract imagery of Kevin Mazutinec’s digitally generated organic projections shift and move, supported by lush ambient electroacoustic soundscapes from Robin Davies and Marian Van der Zon which play off of the emotion and the content of Justin McGrail's spoken word, which addresses concepts of home, space, geography, migration, love and the human condition. "The Night Swimmer" is a re-working of material from Trommer's installation Ghostwood, which was presented at Sound Travels in 2012. and will be part of a future release on the 'unfathomless' label. Like Ghostwood the work is based on field recordings made in Georgian Bay of night swims.

"Tracings" by Nataliya Petkova consists of two works - "Geophonies" and "[x]Tensions" - being presented at the Art Gallery of Mississauga`s XIT gallery and co-presented with New Adventures in Sound Art. Petkova describes "Geophonies" and "[x]Tensions" as being part of an ensemble of instruments for territorial readings and sound performances that strive to shift our everyday environmental perceptions and assign sound characteristics to visual geography. Using steel needles, as in phonographs, they translate immediate territorial texture into aleatory and unrepeatable sound compositions.

"Whispering Rain" installation by Kathy Kennedy


Dates:
Sat Nov 09, 2013 00:00 - Wed Oct 30, 2013

Location:
Toronto, Canada

Thurs/Fri – 1 to 4 pm; Sat – 10 am to 3 pm
Admission PWYC

"Whispering Rain" is an audio installation that displays a sonic, geographic dream. Three different terrains are represented by three separate field recordings, each played through a directional speaker. These are carefully placed in close enough proximity to each other (on the ceiling) for spectators to experience each terrain only a footstep or two from each other. This installation is presented in a darkened room with only a small and brightly lit, hand drawn map to represent this otherworldly topography.
