To The Moon is a guided sound journey for all ages, but created specifically for younger audiences. Using a combination of guided voiceover, synthesized sounds and real space recordings from NASA's archive, this piece aims to transport you to the moon and back.
Settle in and allow the spatial sound system to lull each audience member into a place of peace, relaxation and wonder.
We find even the youngest audience members are captivated by the 4DSOUND system.
An extended meditation consisting of shifting patterns of precisely placed tones, pitch intervals, and surrealistic environmental sounds.
This piece is a self-guided sound immersion designed to support the re-patterning of mind-body relationships and for achieving deeper states of awareness.
Setting into motion a blend of organic and synthesized sounds, this piece creates a transportive environment. Warm sub-frequencies and dynamic arpeggios envelop the listener. “Sounds for a Room” expands the possibilities of spatial sound design and our understanding of what constitutes a room.
With the intention of aligning physical and metaphysical bodies, this piece is founded on theories and practices that suggest there is a fundamental connection between specific frequencies and the human body. Sta/g-mos is a guided meditation that integrates voice into shifting, tactile soundscapes in which listeners are supported as they tap into each of the body’s energy centres.
Ideal for those who are new to the concept of meditation and/or resonant sound healing and want to be gently guided.
A composition that takes motion as its subject, this piece explores place and position by unsettling the listener’s perspective: be it physically or perceptually.
“Are You Moving?” can be heard as an omniscient narrative that suggests a process of transformation; a journey that is motivated by passage between the diverse and populated soundscapes of one’s inner and outer worlds.
This powerhouse vocal ensemble uses traditional and emergent sonic practices to create compositions that express the vast spectrum of the human experience. They remind us that the voice is an adaptation of the metabolic activity most crucial to our existence – breathing, this is how the atmosphere enters our beings. Evoking loneliness, joy, the mysterious and supernatural, Vox.Infold brings together musical luminaries, Dawn Pemberton, Inuksuk Mckay, Russell Wallace, Tiffany Ayalik, Tiffany Moses, Shamik Bilgi and Ruby Singh.
DOUBLE FEATURE
William Russell // Stefan Maier
This piece is no longer available as a private booking.
Conceived by MONOM’s Creative Director and Sound Artist William Russell, “Lost Space: Rainforest Variations” is part of a series of Sonic Films that recreate hyper realistic audio maps of natural environments that no longer exist. The living beings you encounter in these environments have been lost with them.
Created in collaboration with Michelle Mackenzi - Orchid Mantis is a sonic study of a speculative, post-human habitat described in an essay by Benjamin Bratton. Composer and educator Stefan Maier enlists the novel possibilities afforded by 4DSOUND and the tactile specificites of infrasonics through Lobe’s vibrational transducers to explore human listening as a non-linear process, the physiological limits of the human ear, perceptual paradoxes, and impossible spatial geometries.
Presented together, these rich and highly affective environments offer listeners an opportunity to consider the differences and consistencies between how we open to what has been and what could be. This program will run from June to September, 2021.
**ATTENTION** This piece utilizes otoacoustic emissions, which while not harmful, can be uncomfortable for some listeners.
