New Voices IV
(Feb 13-April 5)
Audium’s latest sound residency series highlights the deeply personal and powerfully resonant works of three Bay Area artists: Briana Marela, Phillip Laurent, and Shanti Lalita.
From intimate reflections on grief and language, to dynamic explorations of space and perspective, to sensory investigations of marginalized bodies, New Voices IV invites audiences to experience sound in ways that are both visceral and profoundly human.
OpenAudium
(Mar 27)
What is a sound sculpture? How do you compose music for space???
This workshop will introduce participants to the language of composing for “sound-sculptured space” with this year’s resident artists. Phillip Laurent, Shanti Lalita and Briana Marela will demonstrate their compositions, share their different ways of approaching the live improvisation and spatialization of sound.
Audium Tech Staff will also be on hand to introduce Audium’s system and answer questions.
Swells
(April 18 – May 3, 2025)
Oakland-based interdisciplinary artist Ven Voisey has created a site-specific composition that explores his relationship to the space within Audium. The show is an exploration of swells: how space is occupied by sounds that inhabit, infiltrate, expand, and then dissipate.
This piece explores the specific sounds of Audium: the hum of the breaker box, the phasing pulse of the equipment cooling fans, door hinges, water pipes, and how the exterior sub-audible sounds of traffic make the building shake at times, creating an almost wave-like sound.
