SONAR REALIDAD
INTERIOR .............................. SAM HAMILTON SATURDAY 5th APRIL 1:30pm (as in during the day time, after lunch like) at the DUNEDIN PUBLIC ART GALLERY auditorium ... sam will be presenting, sharing, listening and playing recordings recently made over a 4 month project in south america recording the sound of reality from the amazon rain forest of brazil and columbia to the atacama desert of peru, and everything in between. the main focus at this point it the early development of this stage of the project (i.e. the post collection period of beginning to use and redefine the actual recordings as artistic material) it is the focus of this concert to create a situation of where musical, performative and experiencial expectations are slowly disolved from the situation yet maintaining a high level of intent listener focus traditionally associated with listening and appreciating music, to allow enough space and freedom from musical constraints for the rich sonic vocabulary that is embodied in the sounds in the recordings to be noticed and to unfold for the listener the intoxicating immersion of sonic existence thats such a pungent and often ill-aknowledged aspect of all realities on this planet. it should also just be a super relaxed, casual, calm and fun hour or 2 spend drifting off or even falling asleep in a new sound environment. whether you stay for 2 hours or 2 minutes, whether your imagination takes you to the places you associate with the recorded sounds or whether your imagination takes you somewhere completely and utterly beyond any comprehensible reality, your all very welcome to come along :) entry (or exit) by donation thanks to the Starving Artists Fund www.starvingartistsfund.com for their generous support and for CNZ for support with the Mamori Sound Project and the DPAG and the Sound in the Cracks people for helping it happen ... p.s. my apologies for the lame ass title, i came up with it and thought ah fuck, how pretentious does that sound! so i decided to make it even more pretentious sounding and translate it into Spanish (not that spanish is a pretentious language, but you know what i mean) yeahhhhhanyhow, hopefully the concert doesnt live up the the wankiness of the title, please feel free to come up to me after the show and give me a slap in the face if you feel it was :) haha
