"Soundscape Project" - Encore Performance

Sonoma State University Department of Theatre Arts & Dance presents

"Soundscape Project."  The free encore performance, featuring choreography

by Christine Cali and Kristen Daley with original music by Jesse Olsen Bay, is

presented 12 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, 2013 at Weill Hall, Green Music Center at

Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, CA.

 

Explore the rich soundscapes of SSU’s Preserves while learning about the

changing ecology of Sonoma County through a dynamic multimedia encore

performance of "Soundscape Project." The perfect merger of art and science,

"Soundscape Project" uniquely blends video and acoustic recordings by world

renowned Bioacoustics expert, Dr. Bernie Krause.


Funded in part through the Green Music Center’s Academic Integration

Grant and the Sonoma County Community Foundation Grant, "Soundscape Project" is

an original dance piece featuring the environment of sounds captured at the

Fairfield Osborn Preserve, a 411-acre nature reserve on Sonoma Mountain.

 

With training from bioacoustics expert Dr. Bernie Krause, students from

Environmental Studies and Planning recorded a diversity of natural and man-made

sounds in the field. The recordings were archived and edited by Engineering

Students into a sound library. Composer Jesse Olsen Bay created a score from the

diversity of sounds which choreographers and dance students used as inspiration

to create this interpretive performance.
