How to Enter a Dream
How to Enter a Dream: a meditative, all-night music concert and installation, with communal sleeping and breakfast (Featuring Sound Arts MFA students Chatori Shimizu and Cameron Perry Fraser) 9.30pm, Saturday March 12 – 8am, Sunday March 13 $15 – $25 suggested donation In many traditional and contemporary global cultures, communal sleeping without sexual overtones is an activity considered to create unity and kinship and plays a vital role in the social fabric of a tribe or community. Inspired by this and the concept of an all-night lullaby, Inner Fields invites you to sleep over during the weekend which Daylight Savings begins, and be immersed in an electronic-acoustic, meditative soundscape performed live by 7 different musicians: Hiroshi Ebina, Cameron Perry Fraser, Zak Hap, Chung Eun Kim, Anqi Liu, Yusuke Narita and Chatori Shimizu. (See biographies below). Performing a variety of instruments which include laptops, guitars, found objects, kids percussion instruments, a cell phone, glockenspiel, circular koto and the traditional Japanese shō, this tranquil sonic experience will bring you through Saturday night and into Sunday morning, with coffee, tea and breakfast to be shared upon waking. The Inner Fields studio will feature a dreaming installation by Elaine Su-Hui, and the concert will begin with a 20 minute guided meditation before inviting you to lie down, listen, and enter a dream. Photo: In the Seed We Have the Universe, 2016, mixed media installation by Elaine Su-Hui Everyone will be sleeping on the floor upon mats, rugs and blankets, so please bring your own additional yoga/ sleeping mats, blankets, as well as a pillow and sleeping bag to be comfortable.

ON LISTENING: Perspectives on Sound, Music and Noise
ON LISTENING: Perspectives on Sound, Music and Noise – with Chatori Shimizu and Didier Sylvain 7.30 – 9.30pm, Saturday 21 November Entry by donation (Suggested $15) This evening will explore various philosophical and cultural approaches to listening with discussion and performances from multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound artist Chatori Shimizu, and sound anthropologist and electronic musician, Didier Sylvain. Delving into linguistic definitions of sound, music and noise from around the world, and drawing comparisons between Eastern and Western perspectives of ‘noise’ in music, this discussion will also explore the impact of technology on our ideas of ‘music’, inquiring into biological metaphors in electronic music, ‘live’ and ‘dead’ music, and performance versus demonstration. Through this lens, we can understand the action of listening as a way of knowing and a way of being: a personal, social and physical experience of the world which unfolds through a process of participation and reflection. By expanding our understanding of sound, music and noise beyond the limits of culture, the human-centric, and divisions between nature and technology, we can refine the way we listen and interpret the world, thereby advocating a deeper connectedness to each other and our environment. http://www.innerfieldsnyc.org/sound-music-noise Chatori Shimizu is a composer, researcher, multi-instrumentalist and sound artist from Osaka, Japan. Ranging from orchestral works to sound installations, his award-winning works have been performed and exhibited throughout the United States, Japan, and Europe. He is an MFA Candidate at Columbia University. Didier Sylvain entered Columbia University’s PhD program in Ethnomusicology in 2013. His research explores the philosophical and political dimensions of “black” engagement with sound technology in the Americas, and, more generally, interdisciplinary work surrounding the intersections of race, sound, and technology. |
