// 09.20.08 // Soundwalk 2008 @ Long Beach Arts District//
My project "Overheard" will be included in this year's Soundwalk. More info about my project soon.
About the event: "An environmental experience with new and returning artists participating in the alteration of a familiar urban space. Outdoor sound installations add a layer to and perform in concert with the sounds of the city, thus altering and intermingling with the ambient environment(s) of their locations. Unlikely juxtapositions of the ordinary and the extraordinary present themselves through chance encounters with the attending public.
