About this Event
Seemingly insubstantial yet nonexistent without a medium to give it a way from maker to hearer (even when maker and hearer are one and the same), its material vibrations creating anything from noise and nonsense to harshly or harmonically searching significance, sound has astonishing reach and power. The rumble of thunder is the most obvious example of its resounding non- or extra-human potential, but the resonance of human sound can also shake the world, as well as bridge the immeasurable space between oneself and others, especially when that sounding is shaped through heightened speech into song and story. You are invited to join d’bi.young anitafrika, Wayde Compton, Sonnet L’Abbé, and Paul db Watkins for performances and conversation embodying and enlarging on the wide-ranging power of human sound to make, unmake, and remake the ways in which we might feel, engage with, and know ourselves, others, and the world around us.
