"The Whispering Tree"
by Lori Beckstead and David Rose
Computer programming by Brendan Wypich
Eye Weekly Preview

The Uduk tribe of Sudan believes that much can be divined from the trees. The trees act as a sort of psychic conduit, absorbing information by listening in on what goes on in the village. Only tribal elders trained in the art of divination can retrieve this information from the trees, learning village secrets.

In similar fashion, "The Whispering Tree" absorbs the sound around it, and then retransmits those sounds. However, the tree is no tattle-tale. Secrets told to the tree become part of a continuous soundscape emited by the tree, but the secrets are veiled and mixed together. Over time, the tree beomes a wise old repository of all that has happened around it, containing and sometimes revealing all that it has learned.

Feel free to tell the tree your secrets, or practice the art of divination on the secrets the tree already knows.

"Toronto Island Sound Map"
By Don Sinclair with sounds collected by Darren Copeland and Diego Phillips-Shea

Created by Don Sinclair with sounds collected by Darren Copeland and a participant of the "Hear here" youth workshop at the Power Plant. "Toronto Island Sound Map" is both an on-line and a gallery installation that uses a map of Toronto Island as an organizational tool and visual interface for visitors to trigger, mix together and compare different Toronto Island sounds. The "Hear here" workshop was taught in June 2004 by New Adventures in Sound Art's artistic director Darren Copeland and co-produced with Charles Street Video, and the Power Plant gallery. Toronto Island Sound Map provides an understanding of Toronto Island's sonic geography by drawing attention to the physical location of important Toronto Island soundmarks, keynote sounds, and other more unusual sounds that go unnoticed by many visitors to the island.

"Around Radio roadmovies"
Chantal Dumas, Christian Calon, and Don Sinclair

Media artist Don Sinclair collaborates with Christian Calon and Chantal Dumas on the new media interface 'Around Radio roadmovies'. The work draws from soundscapes and images collected during Dumas and Calon’s cross-Canada trip in preparation for their work Radio Roadmovies. The new media work is presented in two formats: an interactive computer installation as part of the Sign Waves installations, as well as on the soundtravels web site.

"The Listening Gallery"
curated by Darren Copeland

The Listening Gallery will give visitors an opportunity to listen to past performances presented during the annual Sound Travels performances on Toronto Island. The works assembled for the listening gallery provide a very comprehensive cross-section of activity in experimental sound art and electroacoustic music.

"Sound Travels Documents"
Photo Exhibition by Stefan Rose

Sound Travels Documents is an exhibition of 24 black-and-white photographs by Stefan A. Rose documenting previous Sound Travels and Sign Waves events on Toronto Island. Translating the original auditory experience into the visual, using visual textures and point-of-view, the images are a record of soundwalks, participants, artists, and sound/new media installations.
