Socrates Sculpture Park

Field Guide: Radiating Undercurrents – Communing with Elements of Socrates
A Free Two-Session Workshop

Buena Onda Collective is partnering with us for an immersive, hands-on workshop exploring the hidden communications of Socrates Park’s multifaceted ecosystem. Together, we’ll attune with the environment, practice deep listening, learn hands-on recording techniques, and transform what we hear into interactive sound sculptures. Pre-registration required, sign up for one or both sessions.

Session 1: Ecological Sound Recording & Deep Listening
Saturday, August 23 | 12 – 4 pm
RSVP Free by email: education@socratessculpturepark.org. Please note that space is limited.

Explore the sonic life of the Park — from water and plant whispers to soil communication and insect songs. Using specialized microphones, sensors, and the practice of Pauline Oliveros’ deep listening, we’ll capture the park’s dynamic soundscape. Inspired by sound ecologist Bernie Krause, we’ll reflect on how recording and archiving sound is an act of environmental care and knowledge sharing.
 

Session 2: Interactive Sound Sculpture Building
Saturday, September 20 | 12 – 4 pm
