Rehearsal for a Forest

“Our world is a complex matrix of vibrating energy, matter and air, just as we are made of vibrations. Vibration connects us with all beings and connects us to all things interdependently.” —Pauline Oliveros, Quantum Listening 

Rehearsal for a Forest invites audiences to consider our relations with water, waves, trees, the land — through sound. Rehearsal for a Forest is a live indoor performance bringing the sounds of trees and forests to urban audiences. The Ensemble uses instruments hand-made from remnants and cast-offs of local trees and plants, combined with electroacoustic techniques, and improvisational approaches. The performance features a Tree Voice instrument activated through electromagnetic fields generated by living trees.
