by Eyal Cohen from Musrara School of art
Location: Jerusalem Israel
Local timezone: UTC+3

will be playing a composition created from field recordings I personally captured in the enchanting Gazelle Valley in Jerusalem. Utilizing a spatial arrangement of four speakers, I will take the audience on an immersive journey through the sonic tapestry of this extraordinary location. The performance will involve modulation, transforming the field recordings into a captivating sonic experience that reflects my personal connection with the environment. Following the performance, I will share insights into my creative process and the significance of Gazelle Valley. I believe this event aligns perfectly with the ethos of World Listening Day, as it explores the profound relationship between listening, ecology, and our collective future.
