Curated/Organized by: New York Society for Acoustic Ecology

Edmund Mooney hosts an exploration of the wonderful happy mistakes recorded while trying to record something else. From car crashes to hilarious conversations, anyone who has ever made field recordings has them, probably a lot of them! Tune in to get an earful of these recordings of chance! Giant Ear is a product of the wonderful people at the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology!

NYSAE AND FREE103POINT9 RADIO FEST MOBILE SOUNDWALK

Presented in collaboration with Art in Odd Places and free103point9

Date: Saturday 24 October

This project is a co-presentation with both Art in Odd Places and free103point9’s Radio Festival NYC 2009, a fall festival of radio art and experimentation which takes place at The Ontological Theater at St. Mark’s Church in the East Village 20-24 October. Audiences will participate in the walks whose trajectories will lead them to the Ontological Theater for the Radio Festival installations and performances on Saturday 24 October.
Members of the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology (NYSAE) will lead public soundwalks involving mobile broadcasting equipment. The public (soundwalkers) will use small FM receivers and headsets to tune in to multiple, simultaneous broadcasts from three mobile broadcasting units (carried by NYSAE members) all broadcasting different material on the same frequency starting from three different (Madison Square, Washington Square, Tompkins Square) parks north and south of 14th street. The different broadcasts will be a mix of several elements, pre-recorded nature sounds, historical soundscapes, and live broadcasts of the walk itself. The walkers will be lead, meandering across and around 14th street, eventually converging/colliding their broadcast perimeters separating again –hearing their own walk and hearing the other walk simultaneously. Walkers will also be able to hear the soundscape over their headphones as they walk and listen to the broadcast, experiencing a sort of hyper-reality through physical presence in the soundscape, the sounds of the broadcast and the overlapping of the broadcasts when the broadcast areas collide.
The walks will all begin at the same time and are timed to strategically overlap. The approach to the end of the walk is marked by the eventual reception of a broadcast from the Ontological Theater location. The groups then all arrive at the prescribed time at St. Mark’s church and enter the theater for the evening’s performances and installation presentations. Total time for the walk would be approx. 60-90 minutes.

Meet Time: 6:00 PM SHARP!

Duration: approx. 90 minutes
