Join us for the premiere of DB Amorin's newly commissioned take on a Soundwalk--a Sound"ride." Co-presented with PICA and commissioned by Third Angle.
DB Amorin's "long shadow" is a 45-minute sound"ride" composition inspired by the desire to return to that which may no longer be familiar to us. The layered audio experience, drawing on the artist’s memories of the Ko’olau mountain range, the transition of season, and the longing for vanishing eras, is designed to trace the path of the MAX Red Line from the urban center of Portland to the Portland International Airport as a soundtrack for the movement towards unreachable places.
Meet the artist by the Umbrella Man at Pioneer Square at 10am on October 28th for some opening words about the work, then join us in going on the sound ride as a collective group out to the airport.
The event is free, but you must pay to ride the Trimet red line. Please bring your own headphones to listen to the work from your phone. You will receive the link to the audio file, available to download or stream once you register for the event.
Detailed instructions on where to meet and the downloadable link to the audio file will be sent to everyone that registers—please register!
