Echoes Between Us is an immersive outdoor experience in two parts created by Corrine Alice, in Wonderland. She is an interdisciplinary artist based in the Almaguin Highlands. The performance will begin with a guided soundwalk inviting participants into deep listening, attuning to the layered soundscape of Warbler’s Roost. After the walk, she will give a solo performance using live looping, voice, and other instruments in intuitive response to the environment. The sounds will rise and fall in conversation with the natural world. This piece explores connection between breath and bird call, silence and song, artist and audience. At its heart, it’s an invitation to remember that the land is always speaking, if we learn to listen. The concert is the first event in a weekend long celebration of World Listening Day

Program:
I. A Sound Map of the Housatonic River by Annea Lockwood
This is a sonic map tracing the course of the Housatonic River from its sources in the Berkshire mountains of Western Massachusetts to the river’s mouth at Milford, Long Island Sound, Connecticut, USA, recorded both at the surface and underwater, not from boats but from the riverbank at many sites, thus mirroring the changing river-created environment.
During the late 19th and 20th centuries the river was industrialized and extensively polluted with PCBs and other toxic substances, but since the 1970s local action and an important Wetlands Protection Act have improved water quality and the riparian environment.
I am fascinated by the multi-layered complexity of the sounds created by fast flowing rivers and have been recording them for many years. An aural scan is a different experience from a visual scan, more intimate, I find. The energy flow of a river can be sensed very directly through the sounds created by the friction between current and riverbank, current and riverbed.

Annea Lockwood ’s compositions range from sound art and environmental sound installations to concert music. Recent works include Becoming Air, co-composed with Nate Wooley, trumpet, The River Feeds Back, a sound map of the Schuylkill River created in collaboration with Liz Phillips, Into the Vanishing Point, co-composed with the ensemble Yarn/Wire – a meditation on the large-scale disappearance of insect populations, On Fractured Ground, an electroacoustic work based on recordings of the peace walls in Belfast, NI; and Skin Resonance, composed with Vanessa Tomlinson, bass drum. These last two works have recently been released by Black Truffle Records.
She is a recipient of the SEAMUS (Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States) Lifetime Achievement Award 2020, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and recently received a commissioning grant from the Fromm Foundation for a collaboration focused on the Elwha River with flutist Claire Chase.
