Toronto and Sound Art, as usual….

From Now Magazine

As part of a larger series of interactive sound pieces, installations and concerts sponsored by the organization New Adventures In Sound Art, Kristi Allik and Robert Mulder have set up a small interactive sonic sculpture on the boardwalk between Ward’s and Centre islands.

It’s a sonic “mapping” of cricket sounds and high-pitched bell-like “micro-sounds” that they’ve placed as a counterpoint to the “cantus firmus” (background sounds) of Lake Ontario. All this means that if you walk across their piece, you’ll hear high-pitched chirping and bell sounds, and you can control these at will.
