This work began in the forests of Oregon at HJ Andrews Experimental Forest (HJA) in 2018\, and has evolved in the urban ecosystems of Troy\, New York. Lisa’s compositions focus on cryptic sounds beyond the limits of typical human hearing ability without the use of technology; so that through this focus\, we might consider non-human listening positions and perspectives. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Schonberg is a composer\, percussionist and ecological sound artist. Her recent work includes investigations of ant acoustics in tropical forests\, Hawaiian endangered bees\, insects and human technology\, and fungi. She is a PhD candidate in Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.  \n\n\n\n\n\nMediaSanctuary · Old Growth Playback with Lisa Schonberg\n\n\n\nNina and Brian’s performance combines improvisational piano with an experimental percussion process that uses five shapes (five-pointed star\, square\, triangle\, line segment\, and a single point) to determine patterns of action inspired by somatic memories encoded through dance training\, skateboarding\, and trampoline. The structure considers speaker placement\, room dimensions\, and materials as a way to demonstrate an intuitive interpretation of the psychoacoustic phenomena of apparent source width and attempts to conjure LEV\, the entity of listener envelopment. \n\n\n\nNina Isabelle is an artist researching the hidden layers of Process Art. She makes art as inquiry into how sensory perception\, memory\, and motive inform the decision-making processes used to construct meaning in art and life. \n\n\n\nBrian McCorkle is a composer\, performer\, and digital artist in Hurley\, NY. He studied jazz piano with the late Geri Allen and performs regularly as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist \n\n\n\nOld Growth Playback is made possible\, in part\, by the New York State Council on the Artswith the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York StateLegislature through the Media Arts Assistance Fund\, a regrant partnership ofNYSCA and Wave Farm. This work has also been supported by HJ Andrews Experimental Forest and The Spring Creek Project at Oregon State University\, and is presented in partnership with The Sanctuary for Independent Media\, NATURE Lab\, Hudson Mohawk Magazine\, and Publication Studio Hudson.
