Sounds Modern celebrates Mother’s Day with sounds inspired by the natural world, at a free outdoor pop-up event at Pavilion 2 of Denton’s South Lakes Park.
James Tenney’s In a Large Open Space will begin the event with a meditative fanfare of harmony and sound-color, all arising from the natural harmonic series of a single low tone, like the notes of wind singing through a canyon. Andrew May’s Recyclers will follow, with musicians joining together with recorded calls of the Northern Mockingbird (state bird of Texas) to form a surreal, playful flock, imitating and recycling each other’s sounds.
The event is free and open to the public.
