Rhythm in Nature Community Listening Lab

Susie Ibarra, Jake Landau, and the Rhythm In Nature Residency will hold a Community Listening Lab at PS21 on Saturday, July 15, from 9:30 AM-12 PM, followed by a community discussion. Participants will meet at PS21 at 9:30 AM on July 15 and will walk as a group to the Stony Kill where Ibarra, Landau, and the Rhythm In Nature Residency attendees will offer insights and instruction into field recording practices and techniques. Rhythm in Nature participants will lead the community in making field recordings and listening to the surrounding environment, with a focus on water and bird song, using handheld Zoom Field Recorders, stereo microphones, directional microphones, and hydrophones. Community members are encouraged to bring their own headphones (cabled, not bluetooth). Participants will walk along the Stony Kill and through the fields and forested areas of PS21’s grounds, transitioning through a spectrum of natural acoustic ecosystems, including water, woodlands, and meadows, exploring a range of sites for bird song, and returning to PS21’s open-air pavilion theater, where Rhythm In Nature Residency attendees will lead a Q&A. That evening, don’t miss the World Premiere of Ibarra’s work “Four Meditations on Impermanence” at our pavilion theater. Tickets are pay-as-you-wish!
