"This site-specific, 52-minute, interspecies sonic landscape by local composer and violinist Wendy Reid "reflects an ecocentric philosophy of connecting all living creatures and the environment." Her companion African Grey parrot Lulu is part of the large ensemble of musicians (trombone, saxophone, flute, tuba, long tube, "skatchbirds"), working with the ambient sounds of the park itself, especially its birds, of course."
"That beautifully raucous celebration of local pan-Latin culture, Carnaval, is coming up May 23 and 24, and this is a lovely chance to see one of its best groups, Fogo na Roupa in a practice session for the big event. Fogo, crowned "Grand Champions of Carnaval," bring the blazing sounds of the "Bateria"-the ensemble consisting of traditional Brazilian parade drums-along with colorful choreography and dancers."
"You rarely hear of it (unless you read us) but the Bay Area has a very lively indie filmmaker and animator scene. This "ongoing series celebrating diverse and engaging short works" is a fab way to sample several of these artists' work, from Luis Bel Cardoso's stop-motion "Sopinha" and Elie M. Khadra's abstract visual poem "The Nature of the World" to Tyler McPherron in-depth, impressionistic profile of sculptor Woody De Othello."
Wendy Reid’s “Ambient Bird-Ohlone Park 2026” presents a 52-minute site-specific interspecies sonic landscape in Ohlone Park, Berkeley, combining musicians and the park’s ambient sounds, especially birds. The performance includes an African Grey parrot, Lulu, alongside instruments such as trombone, saxophone, flute, tuba, long tube, and “skatchbirds,” reflecting an ecocentric philosophy of connecting living creatures and the environment. Fogo na Roupa holds a Carnaval parade rehearsal in the Presidio, SF, offering a chance to see a top Carnaval group before May 23–24. The rehearsal features Brazilian parade drums (“Bateria”), colorful choreography, and dancers, with time for a picnic. Roxie Mixtape: Side A screens diverse Bay Area short works by indie filmmakers and animators at the Roxie Theater.
