Projected Resonances: Intersections of Sound, Performance, and Tourism Underground at Mammoth Cave

Paula Matthusen • Wesleyan University

November 23 @ 6 P.M.
Event Link: https://www.wesleyan.edu/cfa/events/2020/11-2020/11232020-matthusen-talk.html

What expectations do we bring to an acoustic space? And, what may sound reveal about our cultural imaginations of how spaces may behave? Projected Resonances creatively engages with these questions by focusing on Mammoth Cave and its intertwined histories of musical performance and tourism. The presentation-performance draws together a series of field recordings and archival materials as a series of overlapping audio streams and textures. Many of these streams will feature recent site-specific recordings realized with the SPLICE Ensemble inside Mammoth Cave made possible by the National Park Service.
