Hello Friends:
Yours truly will be doing a video performance on 7/17 @ Devotion Gallery in Williamsburg in conjunction with the BIKE BOX project. See below for the details.
Best,
Jonny
July 16, 2010: 6 p.m. – July 25, 2010
Devotion Gallery
54 Maujer Street
near the corner of Maujer and Lorimer Streets
Brooklyn, NY 11206
803-386-8330
Curated/Organized by: free103point9
Join us for an opening reception on Friday July 16, 2010 6 p.m.-10 p.m. to celebrate Sabine Gruffat and Bill Brown’s Bike Box.
Sabine Gruffat is an interdisciplinary artist whose work maneuvers through, manipulates, and challenges prescribed genres and codes. Bill Brown seeks to correlate geographical coordinates with conceptual ones in his work, such as uncovering the memories and histories folded up inside physical landscapes and borders.
The Bike Box is a mobile-media bicycle library and interactive installation housed in the Devotion Gallery. Bike Box allows participants to check out cheap, durable, technology-enhanced bikes and a free open source iPhone application developed by David Gagnon of the Games Learning Society at UW-Madison especially for this project. As participants pedal around central Brooklyn, they are able to contribute site-specific audio through the iPhone application, as well as listen to a curated collection of geo-specific sounds provided by a variety of local land-use experts, historians, poets, artists, and other interpreters.
The Bike Box hopes to explore and give participants access to the layers of lived experience, personal anecdote, and history that are piled up invisibly on every street corner and city block.
The Bike Box will also host a number of performances and special events during the exhbition at Devotion Gallery:
Saturday July 17, 2 p.m.
Sunday July 18, 2 p.m.
Saturday July 24, 2 p.m.
Sunday July 25, 2 p.m.
Sabine Gruffat and Bill Brown will be leading bike tours through Bike Box geo-tagged sites in Brooklyn.
Friday, July 16th, 6 p.m.
Jesse Stiles performs using the Bike Box’s locative sound database as raw material for breaking beats.
Saturday, July 17th, 5 p.m.
Sound and video performance by Jonny Farrow using sounds and images from solo sound walks.
Curated contributions to Bike Box will include:
John Also Bennett‘s contact microphone recordings of audio frequencies emitted by power transformers, electric lights, and air conditioners throughout Brooklyn.
Jonny Farrow‘s contact mic’d bicycle ride around the gallery neighborhood.
Rob Ray‘s Pedal to the Mental invites cyclists to become “disorienteers” using geographic and environmental queues of Bike Box geotagged locations as launchpads for wonder, confusion, imagination, and adventure!
Dara Greenwald’s exploration of the conflict around the presence, disappearance, re-presence, and final re-direction of a well travelled bike lane in Brooklyn
Huong Ngo‘s interview with Mathieu Néron, the last shoemaker of Québec, collapses Brooklyn’s history as a leading shoemaker at the end of the 19th century with that of Québec City, which shares that industrial past.
Cathleen Grado‘s field recordings drawn from locations in Ridgewood and Bushwick, focusing on the contrasting sounds of rural and urban environments.
Stephanie Gray‘s ruminations on Saint Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint.
Jenifer Kaminsky‘s exploration of the ghosts trapped within the place names of Williamsburg and Greenpont.
Joan Linder and Stephanie Rothenberg‘s Brooklyn-Beijing-Babble overlays the cacophonous sounds of modernizing Beijing onto the gentrifying neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Greenpoint.
Katherin McInnis‘ Phantom Highway, which follows the path of the never-built Bushwick Expressway through North Brooklyn, and offers a fragmentary and poetic essay on urban planning.
Paul Lloyd Sargent‘s Hydronym: Erie Basin Meets Erie Basin, which traces the Erie Basin, taking its name from a long history connecting Brooklyn to territories deep within the North American Midwest and ports all over the world.
Norm Scott‘s field recordings from 2005 of spaces surrounding the (then) abandoned McCarren Park Pool. The sounds harken back to summertime at an abandoned magical swimming pool.
This exhibition is part of a series celebrating the
2009/2010 AIRtime Fellowship Recipients: Zach Poff (July 2-11), Sabine Gruffat & Bill Brown (July 16-25), and Brett Balogh (July 30-August 14.)

GIANT EAR))) HEATER OR WATER HAMMERS
Hosted By Bleakley McDowell
Dec. 27, 2009: 7 p.m. – 9 p.m.—Eastern Standard Time (NYC)
Curated/Organized by: New York Society for Acoustic Ecology
Deep winter approaches. Instant, drastic climate change aside, it will be getting colder. In the majority of New York City buildings this means old steam radiators will be sputtering to life. The first half of today’s broadcast is collection of recordings of these radiators from various apartments. Listen for the water hammer…it’s getting hot in here. We follow that with paranoid, beyond-the-grave wax cylinder recordings and a journey to mystical Surakarta, Indonesia. False gong – neither a beginning nor an end, a start nor a finish. With work by Edmund Mooney, Jonny Farrow and Bleakley McDowell.

Sound Megalopolis hosted by the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology and Conaculta at the Fonateca Nacional in Mexico City
By Andrea Polli
Sound Megalopolis: Sonidos en peligro de extinción was a four-day conference hosted by the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) and the the Fonoteca Nacional in Coyacán Mexico City, the former home of the great Mexican poet Octavio Paz (1914-1998). This event marked the beginning of the newest WFAE affiliate organization, Foro Mexicano de Ecologica Acustica. The Mexican Forum joins a group of 9 affiliate organizations including The ASAE (American Society for Acoustic Ecology, of which NYSAE, the New York Society is a chapter), the AFAE (Australia), JASE (Japan), CASE (Canada), FKL (German-speaking Europe), the UK, Finland and another new affiliate in Greece.
Despite travel warnings due to drug-related violence in the north near Tijuana, I always enjoy an opportunity to visit magical Mexico City: the city of lakes, the city of history unfolding, modern independent Mexico layered over the Spanish empire layered over the buried city of the Aztecs is laid bare in the grand Zocalo, the seat of power of Mexico. The Ciudad de Mexico currently sustains 8 million in the city limit and 22 million in the combined city and surrounding metropolitan areas. The trip was made even more special for providing not only an opportunity to re-connect with friends from the WFAE from al over the world, but to see the beginning of what seems to be a Latin American acoustic ecology movement.
I arrived for the opening ceremony Monday morning on the grounds of the Fonoteca. Fonotecta is a national sound archive for Mexico that already houses an impressive archive. Nigel Frayne, President of the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology and Lidia Camacho, General director of Fonateca and President of Foro Mexicano de Ecologica Acustica welcomed a large mixture of students and practitioners inside a ring of news media. The country of Mexico has responded to the UN’s call for environmental initiatives with an increased interest in soundscape. The Mexican cultural organization Conaculta has embarked upon a large scale project in the preservation of the Mexican soundscape and sonic heritage. The project will consist of major soundscape recording projects in each of Mexico’s 31 states. Several states have already been archived at the Fonoteca, and the year 2009 is focusing on the area of Oaxaca. The sounds of the entire project will be put online and made available to the public as an international resource.
Scheduled to embark immediately after the opening remarks was the most amazing event, acoustic ecology pioneer Hildegard Westerkamp led a one-hour soundwalk through our surrounds in Coyacán. I have had the opportunity to go on a soundwalk with Westerkamp in the past, most recently in Hirosaki, Japan for the 2007 WFAE conference, but I had never seen her transform such a large and diverse group, nearly 100 international participants, into a collective listening mind. Through the beautiful setting of the Fonateca, across a busy street and through a large park, no one was speaking, just listening to eachother’s footsteps blending with one’s own, hearing the quietest sounds, the sounds of the music on the gardener’s headphones, the dominance of the sounds of airplanes, the transition as birdsongs fade in while the plane and car engines fade off into the distance. Westerkamp asked us not only to listen, but to focus on listening to the listening. This created in us, having all just come together for the first time less than an hour earlier, a visceral sense of community. We became a community of listeners. After the soundwalk, Westerkamp and R. Murray Schaffer led a discussion that ranged from initial reactions to how listening can bring one to political activism, how listening can move one to designing and creating the soundscape, and how educators might design and lead listening exercises with young people.
There was a wide range of presentations, in both Spanish and English with simultaneous translation, from scientific to strangely poetic. The first day there was a keynote by Derrick de Kerckhove, director of the Culture and Technology MacLuhan Program called ‘Marshall McLuhan on Sound.’ De Kerckhove talked about silence as a forgotten sound and the use of silence to bring one back to the senses. In the discussion, R. Murray Schafer described a series of urban initiatives internationally to create quiet spaces, for example in Linz, Austria.
Throughout the conference there were presentations on new methodologies for the scientific study of changing soundscapes, for example Jose Luis Carles of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and Andreas Mniestris of the Department of Music Studies at the Ionian University in Corfu. Both of these presentations and others focused on how research can lead to more experimentation, design and even the creation of art projects.
Some projects presented included Luz Maria Sanchez’s soinumapa.net (meaning ‘soundscape’ or ‘soundmap’ in Basque). This sound map of the Basque region of Spain was sponsored by collaborating organizations arteleku and audiolab nd she presented inspiration from other soundmaps including escoitar.org in Spain, the badiafonia project in Catalonia region of Spain, madridsoundscape.org and of course NYSAE’s NYsoundmap and the soundseeker.org project.
Francisco Rivas of the Fonoteca Nacional presented on the phenomenology of sound, bringing up the difficulties of approaching philosophy in multiple languages when philosophy is based on words. He spoke about the definition of ecology as describing interaction and the importance of a multiplicity of approaches. Again and again the process of listening initiated by Westerkamp in the opening soundwalk came up in presentations, in this case Rivas discussed Pierre Schaeffer’s categorization of hearing into 4 parts: hearing, listening, understanding and deep understanding and Barry Truax’s description of the process of listening. The observation that hearing is an inner process echoed both Westerkamp and de Kerckhove’s presentations.
In addition to panel presentations during the day, each evening featured presentations of artworks, art installations and electroacoustic works, for example Canadian sound artist Eric Powell presented the interactive sound installation Sound.garden.scape: Gastown, Simon Fraser presented a multimedia surround soundscape work Gwesyn, a performance by Canadian sound artist Andrea Dancer and work by students of keynoter Sabine Breitsameter of the Darmstadt Hochschule.
The only downside was that the program was too packed, it was impossible to see everything.
There also was, of course, the city, not only as a rich soundscape in itself, but as a resource. The Laboratorio Arte Alameda at the Bellas Artes section of town hosted an interesting sound installation show called INSIDEOUT that featured David Tudor’s Rainforest, a garden of household objects fitted with small speakers creating a soundscape full of surprise. In the historic Laboratorio Arte building, a former Spanish church, the sounds of Tudor’s work bounced and echoed over the slick gold marble.
I also had the opportunity to make a binaural recording in the Zocalo included with this article. In this recording, you can hear a street musician playing a hurdee gurdee, the massive bells of the Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de María, a large group of protesters mixed in with street vendors throughout the square.
