test run for Kai Barrow's exhibition at the CAC Fall 2021

Twenty-two overlapping zones of sound and music offer you an opportunity to stitch together your own composition as you meditate on yourself and your surroundings. Bringing together acoustic, electronic and world musics, the listener should forget about time and just wander through this sound walk. This composition was created for you by Bill Kelley. More of Bill's work can be found at http://wdkelley.com

Find a comfortable spot in the Enchanted Forest. Set out a blanket and lay back. Observe the canopy and immerse yourself in the sounds of Eight Turntables. Eight Turntables is a composition by Bill Kelley (http://wdkelley.com). Often performed live, this recorded version uses tracks from 15 albums of indigeneous music from around the world. Beginning with a Cambodian Shaman and Eskimo Children, the piece moves forward anchored by Tibetan Bells at double speed. Other indigeneous cultures represented include those from Uganda, Kenya, Cambodia, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Columbia, the Ukraine, Northwest Eskimo, Bulgaria, Turkey and India. May we all live in peace.

Created using interviews from people living their lives in the **Historic East End** in Houston, this soundwalk paints a sonic picture of their lives as they are and were leading up to 2024 and beyond. Learn more about this project at eastenedechoes.com.

Through the Voice of Trees - Tallahassee sound walk, you’ll discover local poets who pay homage to Cascades Park, one of the City of Tallahassee’s gems. By following the route on the Echoes app, visitors will hear a selection of original poems read aloud by the poets themselves. Each poem represents a different location within Cascades Park and encourages visitors to discover spots for quiet contemplation. Inspired by the monumental trees and surrounding landscape, these poems serve as a celebration of the unique features of the area. From Smokey Hollow Pond to Centennial Field, visitors can explore the city’s history while enjoying its natural beauty. Included in this sound walk are original poems by local poets Summer Hill Seven, Terri Carrion, Michael Rothenberg, and Virgil Suárez. Voice of Trees - Tallahassee is a collaboration between the Council on Culture & Arts (COCA), 100 Thousand Poets for Change, and the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Affairs Department. This initiative was made possible in partnership with Italian artist Giovanna Iorio who developed the Voice of Trees project in an effort to preserve the voices of poets and link their work to the landscape. Tallahassee and New York City are the only Voice of Trees locations in the United States. Our city joins a global Voice of Trees community which includes Italy, France, England, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Greenland, Ireland, Spain, Japan, and the Netherlands. https://coca.tallahasseearts.org/art-in-public-places/voice-of-trees-tallahassee This Is What Falls by Michael Rothenberg Cascade Park by Virgil Suárez Two haiku by Summer Hill Seven Surrounded by Terri Carrion
