3RD EAR Presents: Hidden Vistas by Sam Plattner – Berkeley, CA

Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in Berkeley, CA. Happening on Sunday, October 13, 2024 at The Berkeley Alembic. Doors open at 7:00 PM.

An urban sound collage of subsurface field recordings that reveal the resonances and rhythms that within our infrastructure.

Following the Sense Gates Sound Practice workshop, co-leader Samuel Plattner presents Hidden Vistas, an extended sound collage of subsurface field recordings that reveal the otherwise inaccessible resonances and rhythms residing within our urban environments and infrastructure.

All of the source material was recorded with geophones — microphones that are designed to record very faint, low-frequency underground and seismic sounds. The resulting recordings have been composed, in both manipulated and unmanipulated form, into a sixty-minute sequence exposing the inner vibrational lives of the components of our built environment at all scales, from massive suspension bridges to washing machines.

The evening also includes several brief whimsical sound compositions created from time-compressed versions of the same source material, playing with and against the pulse and breath of the metropolitan recording locations. Discussion will follow.

3RD EAR Bonus! By purchasing a Sense Gates Sound Practice workshop ticket at 2pm, you get complimentary entry into Hidden Vistas with Sam Plattner.
