WSU Vancouver's CMDC Program Launches Vocal Performances at City Hall in Portland

Description

The 2010 Creative Media and Digital Culture Artist in Residence Ethan Rose, along with students from the CMDC program at Washington State University Vancouver, are launching site-specific vocal performances at City Hall in Portland, Ore on Dec. 4-5. The event is free and open to the public. "Between Rooms and Voices" is a site-specific vocal performance featuring 30 members of the Flash Choir. Synchronized iPods will provide each performer with a set of distinct instructions that guide their vocalizations and movements throughout the rooms, stairwells and alcoves of City Hall in Portland. The iPods function as the fulcrum between recorded sound and physical performance, facilitating the acoustic blend of voice and architecture into unified moments of sonic transformation. Performances will be at 2 and 3:30 p.m. each day on Dec 4 and 5 in Portland City Hall, 1221 SW 4th Ave. Tickets are free and can be reserved in advance.
