Well was created partly for the 250th Junto, and partly for another project... but they dovetailed so nicely I felt I had to rework it for this. This is also for my son. Part of the credit of this piece goes to Amanda Sum for her fantastic vocals that she wrote that inspired this piece. The base of this piece is from a dial tone, with some reverb and a little tonality added. The Project: Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto Make some peaceful music for an infant child. Project Steps: Step 1: Back in the early 1960s, Raymond Scott released a set of music for infants, titled Soothing Sounds for Baby. We’re going to produce music along those lines today. Feel free to revisit Scott’s great collection. Step 2: Compose a piece of music intended for a newborn child, something peaceful as they first experience the world outside the womb.

The sound design and composition for this piece is based on the ominous tones of phone sounds and the frequencies and rhythms used to build them. We're including field recordings and student led songs as well.

2 Presentations nightly at 7pm & 9pm. We are using the app AmpMe as part of the sound design elements so sounds will be transmitted directly to your phone.

Inspired by a large Japanese dock that washed up on Agate Beach in Oregon 15 months after an earthquake and tsunami struck the northeastern coast of Japan, Wild State explores the plight of the many invasive species on the dock that survived what should have been a fatal journey. Following one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent history, the tsunami dock travelled 5000 miles across the Pacific, out on the open ocean, carrying over 100 different plants and animals, arriving to a hostile reception. Using this story as an analogy for layering personal narratives of invasion, xenophobia and the unnatural, Wild State ultimately points the finger at the most invasive species of all.
