Day 1 : SOUND & FILM FIELD RECORDING TRIP
Conducted by Lawrence English & Paul Clipson
Wednesday, 1-August 3:30 – 7:30pm
During this field trip, a limited group of participants (15 max) will spend time with Lawrence English and Paul Clipson while capturing environmental recordings in the magnificent redwood forests of the East Bay. This exercise in phonography and film will foster a newfound appreciation for our natural surroundings and create a platform for meaningful interaction between artists/participants while exploring the locality. Participants are encouraged to bring their own portable recording gear, and various techniques and approaches to effective capture will be covered. Full day schedule, and workshop plan details will be communicated in advance via email to participants. Roundtrip transportation from Liminal Space to Redwood Regional Park provided.
Day 2: WORKSHOP
Conducted by Lawrence English & Paul Clipson
Thursday, 2-August 3:00 – 5:30pm
Following the field trip, Lawrence and Paul will give a workshop and informal lecture about their approaches to the work – both in terms of studio technique, aesthetics and field trip preparation for familiar or extreme environments (specifically in regards to Lawrence – the Amazon, Antarctica, the Outback) as well as other issues relating to the use of field recordings as a means for documenting, creating and transforming environments. Both artists encourage conversation and questions from participants.
Day 2: PERFORMANCES
By Lawrence English , Illuha, & Gregg Kowalsky, and films by Paul Clipson
Thursday, 2-August 8:00pm
A night exploring the breadth of the spectrum of amplified sound, from the acoustic and environmental, the synthetic and processed, to the timbres hidden in radio signals and the distortion of electricity itself. Stylistically as varied in their approaches as the sound sources and the materials used to sculpt them, international artists in their own right, over decades of work all three composers have established themselves as vanguards of their form. Expect an evening of both extreme dynamics and subtle susurration, of immersion in nuanced tonalities and the lashing of dissonant cascades.
