Join sound artists David Stanford & Dave Knott in a listening and sound-making workshop, followed by an exploration of independent listening, sound-making, and recording throughout the grounds of Artlab Thuja. Through explorations of the composer Pauline Oliveros’ Sonic Meditations and Fluxus artist George Brecht’s Drip Music, participants will have the opportunity to:
— Engage in solo and group listening and sounding exercises
— Record and share sounds found throughout the day
— Experience a refocusing of attention toward listening
Afterward, workshop participants are encouraged to stay for some simple food and reflection, followed by an evening performance of Stanford & Knott’s Automatic Overtone Environment, starting at 8pm.
David Stanford is a musician and sound artist living and working in Seattle. He currently plays with graphic score group Eye Music, silent movie soundtrack creators Aono Jikken Ensemble, feedback-based electronics trio Gyre, and for the past several years has been focused on staging sound events at outdoor locations such as beaches, backyards, and forests in collaboration with Michael Shannon and Joan Laage.
Dave Knott gathers, plays with sounds; nurtures change with music; enjoys dialogue with movement, listening and dreaming with particular interests in timbre, listening practice, the tension between utility and aesthetics of music & the forms exposed through exercises in instability.
