[Microsound-announce] Sound Installations, Cowell Theater, San Francisco, CA - March 28th & 29th

[Thom Blum]

Hi all,

I've composed two soundwalks that will take place in Cowell Theater's 
100 yard-long corridor.
They'll be strollable before and after the performances of Deborah 
Slater Dance Theater's 
The Desire Line on March 28th and 29th. 

The entry installation The Long Haul ushers you from the outside 
world into the world
of theater.  The parting installation Hall of Memories is a walking 
collage, incorporating several 
pieces that Jonathan Segel, Erling Wold and/or I have written for 
Deborah Slater over the last 
few years, arranged by me.

Please come for a stroll and the show!

More installation notes - The Long Haul

     You come from your world into the theater, hauling all your 
thoughts and associations 
fresh in mind from the day's encounters.  Once you enter the theater and 
the show begins 
the goal is to be transported into the fantasy of another or others. 
 Somehow between entering  
the theater and the start of the show you prepare yourself to abandon 
present concerns and 
willfully enter another's world.
     
    Two sound installations by Thom Blum, written in conjunction with 
Deborah Slater Dance
Theater's The Desire Line, will be presented along the 100 yard-long 
hallway to Cowell Theater
in Fort Mason, San Francisco.  The entry installation The Long 
Haul ushers you from the
outside world into the world of  theater, transporting you from everyday 
sounds to the
abstractions of the everyday that await you.  The parting 
installation Hall of Memories is a
walking collage drawn from past music written for Deborah Slater by 
Jonathan Segel, 
Thom Blum and Erling Wold.
