Took a ferry from Red Hook, Brooklyn, to Governors

Took a ferry from Red Hook, Brooklyn, to Governors Island the morning. Mariners in the outer boroughs and New Jersey evacuated 500,000 people from lower Manhattan on 9/11/01.

20 years ago I had already been sent home from work, navigated home through the Ted Line, nervous eye on the only two skyscrapers then on the Boston skyline. I spent the next two days in front of the TV, as many of us did.

15 years ago today, I got married to this amazing

15 years ago today, I got married to this amazing person who very rarely consents to being photographed. Maybe it’s because she’s so incredibly adorable and gorgeous that she doesn’t want to break my phone, or the internet, with her radiance. Or maybe she’s shy, not sure. Swipe for an image of her actual wedding dress (if we were getting married today). @orangecookie thanks for always listening to me, and for always being my best friend through everything. It’s super-corny to say “the best is yet to come” and yet that is the corny-ass truth i’ve been thinking a lot these days. ❤️🔥❤️🎶❤️

Soft opening, 28 August, Governors Island! In add

Soft opening, 28 August, Governors Island!

In addition to the suite of audio works for wave field synthesis, “Ephemerospheres” feature a group of porcelain pieces I made a few years ago, which to me now evoke the constant flickering and shuttling of sensory inputs and thoughts that comes with having #adhd . When I’m in an environment, I’m always intensely aware of the constant potential for that environment to transform completely with the change, addition, or loss of a single element. That constant awareness of change is a theme that runs through the audio pieces on this program. Most of the porcelain hasn’t been shown anywhere before, including this place, “Stephenson’s Rocket.”

Christmas (and Halloween) came early at Yankee Candle Company with sister, niece, and @orangecookie . Had no idea this place was so fun.

**Ears In Space Field Recording Kit**
Available at “Ephemerospheres”, my @harvestworks produced installation on Governors Island NYC, starting on Saturday 28 August.

Use this 9” x 6” card to enhance or modify your own hearing, then use the reverse side of the card to record your observations in words or sketches. Share those observations with the hashtag #earsinspace - we’d love to see how you used the EIS FRK.

Gratitude to the brilliant and lovely @orangecookie , model and consultant on this part of the Ephemerospheres project.

Posted @withregram • @ears__in__space *Ephemerospheres program preview for 28 Aug - 31 Oct*
The idea of Ephemerospheres evokes the temporary, fragile, or dwindling ecosystems of sound that surround us, often unnoticed: from bat echolocation above our hearing range, to the flows of water under ice and sap inside trees, to aging mechanical systems.

The installation will feature four compositions by Mike Bullock remixed and reimagined for wave field synthesis, as well as a piece by guest artist Linda Gale Aubry @orangecookie composed specifically for this installation.

=> “Ultrasonispheres”
First composed for the Residual Noise conference at Brown University in 2020, with the intention of being the first piece for the Ears In Space wave field synthesis system. When the conference was moved online due to COVID-19, a binaural mix was presented instead. Finally, on Governors Island, the piece will be heard the way it was originally intended. Thanks to Ed Osborn @cormorantaray at Brown for the invitation.

=> “Vernalities [of wave fields]”
The original Vernalities was commissioned for @SkottegatenFM in Bergen, Norway, and created to be heard on portable FM radios, as part of the @borealisfestival . The version heard here is a new mix specifically for wave field synthesis. Thanks to Karen Werner @karenwerner_05 for the commission.

=> “Azure Ticket”
Guest composer Linda Gale Aubry joins us to take a coffee and a cookie on a modern train platform in the countryside.

=> “Hydrophonosphere” and “Various Divergences #3: Drehorgelmann”
“Hydrophonosphere” is built from recordings of streams flowing under thawing ice, and rain pinging and resonating a Plexiglas tube. “Drehorgelmann” comes from camcorder footage of a man playing a hand-cranked barrel organ at a Christmas market in Bavaria. Both pieces are derived from the soundtracks of videos created for Experimental Intermedia’s online concert series in December 2020. Thanks to Phill Niblock and Katherine Lieberovskaya for the opportunity.

Friends, I am completely thrilled to be presenting a collection of new audio works for Wave Field Synthesis at the @harvestworks building on Governors Island, August 28 through October 31. The installation, called “Ephemerospheres,” addresses some of the many unheard, unacknowledged, and contingent sounding entities that make up our soundscapes.

“Ephemerospheres” is built around a multi-speaker audio array I have been designing and building for the past two years. It uses a technique called Wave Field Synthesis to create virtual sound sources in open space.

In subsequent posts I’ll get into more detail about the technology and the installation, and answer the question “What exactly *are* ephemerospheres?” I’m so glad you asked - more details about the show, the pieces, and wave field synthesis in the days to come.

Major gratitude to the entire Harvesworks team for their tireless support of new media arts in general and of my WFS project in particular; and to the growing global WFS community for their feedback, problem-solving, and encouragement.
