Giant Ear))) Sound Mamori: Amazon Rainforest Sound Memories
Curated by Andrea Williams of the NYSAE. Armed with nothing but gigabait and sound equipment, in November 2007, 11 fearless sound artists led by sound artist/biologist Francisco Lopez, trekked through the jungles of Brazil in search of sounds, took part in classes and workshops, engaged the local community, and ultimately were annihilated in a futbol match between the Brazilians. This Giant Ear))) special reveals through sound pieces submitted by the participants of the sound art residency, the spectacular sonic qualities of the Brazilian rainforest and conveys a sense of place created through sound memory and the mind's own subjective collective mapping of a place that was off the maps. Participants include: Ruben Garcia (SP); Francisco Lopez (SP); Pali Meursault (FR); Novi_sad (GR); Sam Hamilton (NZ); Todd Shalom (US); Simon Whetham (UK); and Andrea Williams (US).
