liminal/subLiminal

Lyn Goeringer

liminal/subLiminal is a multi-media sound installation by Lyn Goeringer incorporating videos of streetlights, amplified sodium halide lamps, and field recordings. 

Gallery hours: Monday through Friday, 11am-4pm, November 4 - 24 at The John Nicholas Brown Center on the corner of Williams and Benefit streets.

In process for over a year, Goeringer has taken videos of streetlights and the concrete under them as the lights turn on at dusk throughout Providence, Rhode Island to create her sound + video installation liminal. In addition to liminal, she has also created subLiminal, a room filled with amplified sodium halide lamps, flickering and fluttering as they buzz in time with their flickerings.

O Barulho Mesmo (The Same Noise)

Musical works from Angolan soundscapes

by Matthew Peters Warne

Friday, November 5 - 8:00 pm

Grant Recital Hall

O Barulho Mesmo is a concert presenting musical works created with sound recordings made in Angola. Combining techniques from soundscape music with a variety of audio spatialization techniques, the works blend the sounds of present-day Luanda and Huambo with the acoustic environment of the concert hall. In so doing, the pieces introduce listeners to the sounds of urban Angola while enriching the way we hear our own environment.

The concert features the artist performing with "gourdo" a custom digital instrument used to control live sound processing and a piece for clarinet and electronics performed by Butch Rovan.

This concert is presented as a MEME (http://brown.edu/meme) dissertation concert in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD in Multimedia and Electronic Music Composition at Brown University.
