Mary Edwards' composition "Soundscapes for Invisible Architecture / Everywhere We Are is the Farthest Place" offers an immersive experience in a Greenwich Village library, recreating the sounds of the Arctic through various instruments. The performance invites audience participation, allowing attendees to contribute to the layered soundscape. Each performance is unique as it incorporates different audience members and environmental factors. Edwards' artistic journey to Svalbard as an artist-in-residence informs the depth of the soundscapes, captured firsthand during her time above the 78th parallel, highlighting the interplay of nature and music.
The sounds of the Arctic, captured firsthand, are re-created here every month for a unique and ever-changing performance by composer and sound artist Mary Edwards.
No two performances are the same as each iteration is shaped by the audience and environment, making every experience unique and engaged.
Edwards creates a space for others to interact with and contribute to the performance, inviting audience members to pick from a host of instruments.
The soundscape they create exists in layers, and builds out from there, starting with the splash of a glacier calving.
