Walking/Listening/Recording: Tryon Creek (2006)

 

10 channel sound installation

Natural Cycles public art group exhibition
Tryon Creek State Park, Portland, Oregon
September 2006 - September 2007

A 10 channel sound installation emerging from the forest on both sides of the Trillium Trail. Along the initial 250 ft. passage of the Trillium Trail, speakers from hidden locations cast layers of found sounds interwoven with poetic murmurs and field recordings from around the Red Fox Bridge area in the park. William Stafford’s poem Walking with Your Eyes Shut inspired the use of poetry in the piece - to form a dialogue between the visual and audible experience.
