 SOUNDplay
is a series produced and curated by New
Adventures in Sound Art that showcases larger scale works or themes
in any genre of electroacoustic and experimental sound art practice.
This year's SOUNDplay
collectively  focuses
on silence and the perception of sound and space. It will include aparenthesi,
an electroacoustic piece by John Oswald,
performances by vivie' vinçent of her
large scale work anahata,
of Micheline Roi's lessening
stillness growing and of ...and
her mind moves upon silence by vivie' vinçent and Amnon
Wolman.
As well, Sound
Sites, an installation by Australian sound artist Lawrence
Harvey, will open at Latvian house, 491 College Street.
 New
Adventures in Sound Art will also be launching their latest educational
booklet Sound in Space a booklet that enlightens the reader
with the many ways that artists have available to them in spatializing
or diffusing the sounds in their works.
 SOUNDplay
is co-presented by Charles
Street Video, a place that is becoming well known as an audio art
facility and for its residencies. Most recently, Charles Street Video
co-produced the Deep Wireless
commissioning program with New Adventures in Sound Art and CBC radio's
Out Front. Four Canadian artists produced works for radio and octaphonic
(or 8-channel) spatialization. Octaphonic spatialization is a common feature
in New Adventures in Sound Art's events. Using the Richmond Sound Design
Audiobox (also available at Charles Street Video), electroacoustic works
have been moved in space polyphonically around audiences since the inception
of the organization in 1998.
 SOUNDplay
is part of TRANZ<-->TECH 2003,
the Toronto International Video Art Biennial. TRANZ<-->TECH 2003
takes place from October 9-12, 2003. All screenings and performances take
place at the Latvian House, 491 College Street. In addition to international
curated video programmes, there are audio installations, and audio performances.
