LIBRARY WOODS SPATIAL VERSION

Listen to composer JG Everest's site-specific spatial symphony, the "Library Woods Sound Garden", in two movements, composed spatially for the Library Woods at the Madeline Island Public Library in May 2023, where it premiered over Memorial Day Weekend of that year. The first movement is entitled "LaPointed" (15 min) and the second movement is "M.Bells" (25 min). The Library Woods Sound Garden features soprano and baritone saxophones played by Free Range Orchestra member Matty Harris. Towards the end of the second movement, it also features the voices and piano playing of the Library's afterschool program students (and staff) from May 2023. Can you recognize any of the voices you hear? Can you hear them howl like wolves at the bus stop?

An audio recording of the full-length site-specific spatial symphony created by composer JG Everest for Harbor Park in Grand Marais in Spring 2018, when it premiered as a live "Sound Garden" event, with over 40 small wireless speakers, each playing a different part of the whole piece of music, and placed according to the compositional "architecture" throughout the park space. This recorded version also features the site-specific stories and poems written and performed by Staci Lolo Drouillard, Jeffrey Skemp, and Tim Blighton for the project. The Spring Sound Garden returned for another live performance in Spring 2021, to celebrate the 15-Year Anniversary of Harbor Park. Stereo Album version mixed by Brett Bullion. Special thanks to Carol Miller and Dave Tersteeg. Dedicated to Terry Collins.
