Damian Catera

The Sonic world (an audible space); an emerging intersection between the audio and visual experiences, based on increasing internet and digital technology inventions -- gave the sound a significant stage in the surrounding environment in the multimedia environment of contemporary culture then ever before. The exploration of the sound emergent spaces, time of audio resonance, sound design, audio-visual simulation, virtual dimension, linguistic utterances, musical performance or random ‘noise’, becomes an individual expression which could exceed its form in relation to our internal self and sonic influences. As Damian Catera says: “Sound is no longer trapped within the mechanism of the ear; its multidisciplinary aspects are reflected in a blurring of sensory experiences. Sound is tactile, visual, spatial and spiritual. These elements have long been ingrained in the experience of sound since the dawn of humanity.”

Featuring works by:
Paul Amlehn/ Robert Fripp , Damian Catera, DJ Olive, Hasan Elahi and many others.
Opening Reception 7/17 7-11pm featuring

free103point9 presents Mobile49 + free103point9 = Radio Walk: with Matt Bua, Max Goldfarb, and Tom Roe as part of a benefit event for Denniston Hill.

Max Goldfarb's M49, is a retrofit radio-utility truck (a Grumman Kurbmaster stepvan), which has been outfitted for mobile radio transmission and other additional applications. In this site-specific transmission for live performance, listeners are guided down a path by radio receivers extending from the M49 lab across the Denniston Hill property.

Listen! is our inaugural programming at the Hill. The co-curators, Josh Druckman of the Outlier Inn and kara lynch, invited artists and artist groups to contribute works to this event and encouraged them to consider the vast natural resources of its location in the Catskills mountains. Set between the Hudson and Delaware rivers, our proximity to New York City that has historically made this area a seasonal destination. In this context, the curators asked artists to consider what it means that people come to Sullivan County for 'peace and quiet' and how their sonic interventions at Denniston Hill could expand our thinking about 'quiet' vs 'noise' and how people produced audio experiences relate to those we have 'in nature'. The responses were overwhelming with projects created specifically for the site, as well as others adapted to this environment. We are pleased to host over twenty-four projects, the work of local, regional and international artists that demonstrate the diversity of sound art and performance. This event begins at 2p on Saturday, August 23 and continues throughout the evening. Food and beverages will be available with a buffet meal served from 2-5p. The musical performances begin at dusk. Out of town guests are welcome to camp overnight. The benefit event is open to the public with a suggested $25 donation. Denniston Hill is located at 43 Dennison Hill Road Woodridge, NY just off Old Glen Wild Road. Featured artists/groups: Brian Anderson, Sabrina Artel, Sanford Biggers, Sara Budde + Michael Chambers, Seth Cluett, Marcelline Delbecq, R.
