Substrata Festival

<p class="p1">Substrata 1.2 is the 2nd edition of a sound &amp; visual art event happening in Seattle, WA (August 3-5). At its nucleus: a two-day performance program, workshop, lecture &amp; a field trip to the Cascades mountain range.<br></p><p class="p1"><br></p><p class="p1">The idea behind Substrata is to explore varying perspectives of scale though the use of sound, composition and visuals. It features two performance showcases featuring accomplished, internationally renowned artists working in the cutting edge where structural abstraction meets physical dynamics.</p><p class="p1"><br></p><p class="p1">The performance program focuses on <i>live</i> electronic music: applying technology to a concert setting while incorporating traditional &amp; non-traditional instruments. The workshop/lecture explores academic musical traditions, experimental music and pop (sub) cultures within the sound arts community; the field trip engages participants and performing artists in field recordings and deep listening exercises on site.&nbsp;</p><p class="p1"><br></p><p class="p1">Each showcase is curated to distinctly portrait different takes of the potency of minimalism, varying between weighty combinations of tonalities used to sculpt out atmospheric ambiance, or powerful dynamic structures made up of the subtlest filigree of sonic building materials. By creating compositional spaces dealing with a sense of mass, along with openness of structure, the perspective of scale and the listener's place in relation is shifted to allow for greater a sense of 'place' beyond the environ of the performance in the interplay of the moment and physics of the larger world.<br></p><p class="p1"><br></p><p class="p1">All in all, Substrata is an event that fosters appreciation for our natural surroundings and creates meaningful interaction between artists/participants while exploring a new locality.<br></p><p class="p1"><br></p><p class="p1">As the name “substrata” implies, it is about subtle aesthetics that go beneath the surface and into deeper aural territories.<br></p>
