soundpedro 2021 participation: June 5th Audioscapes
A Year In The Forest

Ricardo Tomasz is an artist in audio-scapes, photography, painting, collage, video, performance art, and occasionally body hair. He was born and raised in Hungary, to a Hungarian mother, and a Spaniard father. They died when he was 16, but their passing allowed him to tour and study at some of the finest Art Universities in Europe. He came to America, thrusting himself into the art scene. He was in and out, in and out, and in and out of America over several years, until finally settling in Los Angeles as an artist, designer, and occasional human crosswalk sign. He is a valuable contributor to the Greater and Grander Artist collective.

Proposed work as accepted for soundpedro 2021:
A Year In The Forest
Designed to replicate the rejuvenating aspects of nature (similar to the Simpson Great Barrier Reef experiment), guests are invited to sit in one of 4 tree-themed chairs, meant to resemble a forest. As they sit across from one another (10ft apart), restorative sounds of a forest in nature are played, cycling through the four seasons. Sounds will include winds, stepping through snow, the sound of birds returning for spring, etc. This soundscape is meant to provide an audio refreshment to the listeners, where the audio of nature provides a similar experience to actually being in nature.

Forest of Reflection
A series of audio clips and voice questions designed to prompt deep reflection of the listener, triggered by various motion sensors. Possibly accompanied by colored lights.
