Virtual Residency Day Eight, Sound Invitation
REQUEST FOR PARTICIPATION from musicians and other artists working with "found" environmental sounds"
In an effort to address global warming and political polarization, two international virtual concert events are planned for August 8 and 12. This is a spontaneous experiment as part of a Virtual Residency within my project, The Cities and Oceans of If. Progress is being journaled here on my blog: http://www.ghostnets.com/citiesandoceansofif/>, at my web site http://www.ghostnets.com,/ which will also be the site of the two concerts. Each concert will be at least 12 hours long.
The concerts are part of a larger virtual installation which will include visuals, using my blog and special Events pages on the website. The page for the scheduled program of performances and credits will be updated periodically.
There are three participating agencies: Geumgang Nature Art Biennale, South Korea 2006, the Khoj International Workshop in New Delhi, India and the Verdearte event in Pescia, Italy.
I am asking found sound artists from around the world inc those who can improvise in response, to participate with either mp3 recordings (which would be scheduled into the program) or real time call-in improv. The found sound that interests me most, is of people interacting with natural resources, as the fishing fleet up here, with minimal modification. I will be using some combination of skype, TalkShoe & wimpy for the acoustics. Instructions will be posted on this blog and linked from the Events pages.
There are three critical reasons I am doing this from here on my island, virtually:
1. As an ecological artist I can no longer bear the idea of spewing jet fuel over the earth and her waters in order to create interventions to remediate environmental damage
2. I want to create a system, an experimental model, that ties many physical locations together to address the urgent international crisis we all perceive
3. This past year has been an exercize in learning my physiological limits as I’ve traveled extensively. My health, the barometer of my relationship to the earth, has told me in no uncertain terms to find alternative ways to work
Despite ambitious goals, as part of the statement, I want to keep this as simple and direct as possible.
I welcome all & any input, suggestions & recommendations. An e-press release is forthcoming.
