soundpedro 2019 took place on June 1st.

Thank you, to all participants and visitors, for a successful and well-attended event!

A special thanks to Amy Eriksen and the Angels Gates Cultural Center team.

See you in 2020!

Angels Gate Cultural Center is located on Native American land atop a rugged bluff overlooking the Port of Los Angeles, Catalina Island, and the Pacific Ocean. During the 1940s the hilltop site was part of the Fort MacArthur military base. It is now a thriving sanctuary for the arts. The artists of soundpedro activate, in surprising ways, this unique site--both indoors and out.

Unlike music, sound art is the aural equivalent of cinema, painting, theater, sculpture, and literature. “Sound art” as a term was first coined in 1982. Since then artists have taken the genre in a variety of directions. Reframing the act of listening, works and performances explore the progression of sound from hearing to experience.

Our 2019 event adds greater conceptual breadth to soundpedro by moving beyond sound to “ear orientation,” with Earmaginations, silent videos that explore and synthesize ideas, images, and visual conceptualizations informed by or responding to the dynamics, the interplays, and the aesthetics of various auralities and deafnesses, hearing and listening. Earmaginations videos are displayed on the exterior of buildings.

In memory of Scott Peterson, beloved FLOOD member and sound artist.
