All We Sea - Under the Waves II
The artist has created an audio landscape based on sound snippets collected by participants in the Soundwalk along the Water workshop held on the banks of the Lachine Canal in June 2023.
SOUNDWALK ALONG THE WATER
The project All We Sea consists of a workshop, a group sound walk involving in situ sound recording, walking, listening and discussion. During the workshop, participants and artist will record ambient sounds using portable recorders. Recordings take place along the Lachine Canal, but can continue as the group returns to DARE-DARE, paying attention to the sounds of the city. A time will be set aside to listen to several recordings through loudspeakers and talk freely about them; how we feel the sounds, how we create the sounds, etc. Lina Choi has researched the sound of water and presented sensory and immersive sound works through installations and performances. With DARE-DARE, she hopes to collaborate and interact with more people to share ideas about water and sound, with the aim of creating a surround soundscape with sounds recorded by workshop participants.
Participants: Amanda Gutierrez, Celine Bianchi, Elsy Zavarce, Raquel Cruz Crespo, Stefania Hernandez, Sylvain Dumais, Vincent Charlebois.
