about

woven by air was originally realized for the Sonic Innovations Exhibition, part of the Caramoor Summer Music Festival as a sound installation.

Electromagnetic recordings of infrastructure at Caramoor (e.g, boiler room generators, switches in guest rooms, modems) support an extended, floating musical line utilizing recordings of Caramoor Festival Co-Founder Lucie Rosen performing the theremin. Normally hidden sounds intermingle with the past, creating a meditative field of activity.

The release exists both as digital download and as unique audio cards, each of which features approximately two minutes of the original composition. Hopefully, these sounds continue to find unpredictable paths.

The audio cards are unique hand-pulled prints from etched copper and photolithographic plates on BFK Rives paper. The plates were created from handmade lace that echoes the architecture from the original installation. The cards are designed and printed by Olivia Valentine and AJ Zandt.

The title woven by air refers to a poem in Naomi Shihab Nye’s collection Voices in the Air.
