Audium V
Fridays in July
Wonder what Audium sounded like in the late 60s? Composed on tape by Audium’s founder Stan Shaff, Audium V rewinds audiences back to 1969. Find yourself inside an old muscle-car, feel a Pan-American flight fly right through you, and meditate in a cacophony of fog horns. One can only imagine what audiences at that time (54 years ago!) must have thought.
Swells
Saturdays in July
Ven Voisey has created a site-specific composition that explores his relationship to the space within Audium. He is drawn to how space is occupied—and the sounds that inhabit, infiltrate, and swell. Through a methodology of listening, Voisey works with field recordings from Audium’s building and surrounding neighborhood as a starting place. Audiences will hear creaking chairs, the hum of a breaker box, the phasing pulse of equipment cooling fans, door hinges, water pipes, and the wave-like, sub-audible sounds of traffic passing outside.
The Depths
Fridays in August
Head down below, to a place beneath the surface. A place where time slows down, and sonic events unfold with subtle precision and startling intent. The Depths is a sound world that asks for your patience, but where you end up is worth the wait.
The Depths is a multichannel sound composition & installation by Dave Shaff. Featuring musical excerpts from the album holistic management by Joel Reber.
Explorations of Extraction and Decay
Saturdays in August
Sound artist Merlin Coleman questions the uniquely-human practice of extracting resources out of the earth and disposing undesirables back into it, told through the complex stories of two particular places — a quarry and a landfill.
In an eccentric cycle of story, song, and sculpted soundscape, Merlin layers her voice with layers of cello, piano, field recordings and the sounds of objects. Both intimate and operatic, EXPLORATIONS of EXTRACTION and DECAY brings new poetic and musical meaning to the human voice, providing a portal into the broader phenomenon of extraction, waste and the cycle of life itself.
