Wayward Music Series: Seattle Phonographers Union
$5-$15 donation
Engaging in collective improvisation using only unprocessed field recordings, the Seattle Phonographers Union explores the ways in which they recognize, differentiate, map, and navigate their sonic environment. Their intent is to move beyond habitual experience of sound and uncover what is foreign in the familiar and familiar about the foreign; to explore what they hear and relearn what they know. Some sounds will be familiar; others less so. Both novel and familiar sounds are juxtaposed in ways unique to each event. Their intent is to investigate and enrich both their intuitive and analytical relationship with sound. The goal is not to excite, confuse, or entertain per se, but to attend to the world, which is much more detailed and diverse than any one person’s perception of it.
