Communities: Salem
Launched: 1 workshop
Summary
Dynamic duo New Morse Code was joined by composers Christopher Stark and Andy Akiho in creating a new collaborative piece, collecting sounds of the environment with members of the community of Salem, Indiana. They held a workshop in the morning, discussing and demonstrating their work and encouraging audience members to listen to the environment in new ways. An afternoon performance featured a new piece developed from combining natural sounds from Salem’s local environment with sounds created by instruments, synthetic materials, and the audience. Using music to explore the climate crisis, New Morse Code members Hannah Collins, cello, and Michael Compitello, percussion, explore the positive outcomes of connecting sustainability science with storytelling through the arts.
