The Mingler [a.k.a The Mɪŋɡ(ə)l’r] Mascot of Ceremonies
Collage vivant by Terry Braunstein.
Each year, the Mascot of Ceremonies wears a costume that features the soundpedro theme for the year. This year’s soundpedro’s Mascot of Ceremonies is titled “The Mingler.” He is both a conjurer and a talisman, representing soundpedro’s social and acoustical aspirations towards mingling in a world forever changed by COVID. During the pandemic, not only were soundpedro artists separated from one another, but so were their sounds.
The Mingler’s costume consists of representations of a myriad of sound-related visual objects, all mingling together.
