SOUND TRAVELS IN PORTRAIT
by Stefan Rose
This year's Sound Travels indoor installations will open on August 6th and run until August 30th at the Loop Studio Centre for Lively Arts in the Artscape Wychwood Barns focusing on the topic of ecology from an acoustic point of view. Kenneth Emig's LISTENING is an interactive sound installation that presents sounds from a nearby environment around a suspended parabolic dish. Stefan Rose's SOUND TRAVELS DOCUMENTS and SOUND TRAVELS IN PORTRAIT each present portraits of Sound Travels events on Toronto Island from the first 10 years of its existence. Kevin Allen's GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water combines binaural under-water and over-water sound recordings with stereoscopic images. Viv Corringham's SHADOW-WALK, TORONTO EDITION is an audio-visual installation derived from recordings and found objects collected during a visit to Toronto at the Artscape-Wychwood Barns in which local people shared their special walks with Corringham.
Shadow-Walks, Toronto edition (2009 ** World Premiere)
by Viv Corringham
boxes, voice/soundscape recordings, found objects
This work derives from recordings made during a recent artist residency in Toronto at the Artscape-Wychwood Barns in which local people shared their special walks and places with me. All sounds were recorded in location, and include conversations on the walks, environmental sounds, and vocal improvisations. Objects were collected along the way.
Listening (2006)
by Kenneth Emig
2x6' diameter satellite dishes, 12 loudspeakers, sound insulation, acoustically permeable black cloth, PVC pipe speaker enclosures, wire, chain.
Listening is a sculptural installation that makes us aware of sound in our environment. The installation speaks to idea of surveillance and sousveillance in our ever increasingly monitored society. The ecology of sound in our environment is tempered by our understanding. "Listening" asks how does increased surveillance change how we hear the environment. Do we listen for sounds with a paranoid ear?
Listening is an interactive sound installation comprised of 12 loudspeakers evenly distributed around a six-foot diameter suspended parabolic dish. This loudspeaker installation presents the sound from microphones placed in a nearby environment. Depending on where and when the installation and microphones are placed, the sound is heard different.

GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water
by Kevin T. Allen
Stereoscopic photo viewer and 2 binaural soundtracks
GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water is study of the endangered soundscape of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY. Housed within an instrument called a Phonoscope, the installation combines binaural under-water and over-water sound recordings with stereoscopic images to create a heightened audio- visual experience for the viewer/listener that begs a closer listening to his/her everyday environment.
