This year's Sound Travels indoor installations will open on August 6th and run until August 30th at the Loop Studio in the Artscape Wychwood Barns focusing on the topic of ecology from an acoustic point of view. Kenneth Emig’s LISTENING is an interactive sound installation that presents sounds from a nearby environment around a suspended parabolic dish. Stefan Rose’s SOUND TRAVELS DOCUMENTS and SOUND TRAVELS IN PORTRAIT each present portraits of Sound Travels events on Toronto Island from the first 10 years of its existence. Kevin Allen’s GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water combines binaural under-water and over-water sound recordings with stereoscopic images. Viv Corringham’s SHADOW-WALK, TORONTO EDITION is an audio-visual installation derived from recordings and found objects collected during a visit to Toronto at the Artscape-Wychwood Barns in which local people shared their special walks with Corringham.
