Brief:
In this stunning Soundwave Festival season opening event, Green Sound takes
you beyond the city streets and into the wilderness for a sonic event like
no other. Up in the hills of the Marin Headlands, amongst  the gorgeous
ocean and parklands, lies a structure steeped with  history, Battery
Townsley at Fort
Cronkhite(http://www.nps.gov/goga/historyculture/battery-townsley.htm ).
Built in 1940 during WWII, this strongest and most secretive harbor
fortification was a marvel in technology outfitted with battleship  guns to
defend the western shores against the Japanese navy. After the war, the
outpost was a military testing site but by the 1980s, it was largely
abandoned. National Park Service took authority and  historians,
contractors and Volunteers in Parks helped restore a  historic site.

Green Sound retreats to the Battery for a special performance event in this
metallic highly resonant structure. From war comes art as artists 
are commissioned to re-interpret the environment in the Battery’s gunwell
and hallway with sonic sculptures and music. Performances will be without
electrical power and using only the extreme resonant spaces to amplify
their sounds. Featuring musician Danny Paul Grody (acoustic guitar and
various soundmakers (melodica, bells, bows, voice, tapes), Sound artist
Gregg Kowalsky (tape recorders) and free improv duo Jacob Felix Heule
(drums) & Kanoko Nishi (koto).

Soundwave has a bus service from The Lab Gallery in San Francisco’s Mission
District to and from the Marin Headlands site to limit carbon 
emissions. The gallery will act as a bus station (box office, 
refreshments, merchandise sales, waiting area).

RESONANCE is the first event of the Soundwave Festival ((4)), entitled
GREEN SOUND running June 6 to August 13 2010. GREEN SOUND explores the
natural world and environmental sustainability through innovative,  
interactive and experiential performances and exhibitions by over 75  local
and international musicians from across the sonic spectrum  
(experimental to classical to popular music), sound artists, visual 
artists and filmmakers.
