Off-site! is a mix of musical explorations of place. Sounds from real and imagined locations.
—
Ernest Hood makes “musical cinematography.” “…If I didn’t exactly capture your territorial terms forgive me and just let the mood suffice…” — Ernest Hood
—
Hermeto Pascoal and O Grupo play underwater flutes and glass bottles in a lagoon. There is a video.
—
Max Neuhaus’ Times Square is a permanent sound installation emanating from below a sidewalk grate. Visit it here.
—
“…the river shapes its own sounds, just by the way it shapes its banks…Any single sound is a beautiful little composition in itself, with its interior details, and if one could just focus on one sound at a time and begin to perceive that structure, it would be exciting. The structures revealed would be infinitely more complicated than anything I could think up myself.” — Annea Lockwood
—
Brother Ah moved to a Tanzanian crater to play music with animals. "…monkeys, baboons, elephants, giraffes, hippopotamus, lions, leopards, cheetahs, flamingo birds, everything you can imagine - I lived down there." — Brother Ah
—
“Stuart Dempster and Panaiotis and I went to the cistern in Fort Ward and in Washington state, climbed down a 14 foot ladder into the cistern which had 89 pillars and was made of reinforced concrete and had a 45 second reverb time.” — Pauline Oliveros
—
Áine O’Dwyer records Underlight under the River Thames in a shaft of the Brunel Tunnel.
—
Hymn II, from Gavin Bryars' Sinking of the Titanic, supposes the music and chatter aboard the sinking ship might still be reverberating in the sea.
—
Glassine collages field recordings from the 2017 Women's March in Day 1.
—
Water beetles skidding. Pachinko machines. 10-legged decapods. Dave's fence. An aeolian wind harp that attracts horses to its base.
