Sound Art
In dark times will there also be singing? is a participatory sound installation and performance specifically built for the Villa Sciarra Park in Rome. Passers-by are invited into the space. After depressing a pedal, the participant is invited to sing, hum, or whistle "a song that brings you joy." The participant is anonymously recorded. After releasing the pedal, the sound of a previous participant is played through speakers in the space. In the performance portion of the installation, a sonic collage of the recorded voices is diffused from inside a building at the Villa Aurelia as part of a concert organized by the American Academy in Rome on May 20th 2021. The Rome-based string quartet Quartetto Sincronie performs with the collage recordings. Visit the installation website for more information about the work.
