Soundwave>Series Season 2: SURROUND>SOUND
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This season’s Soundwave>Series attempts to explore deeper connections and experience with sound through an all encompassing aural environment
.
SURROUND>SOUND embarks on a journey into the viewer’s mind: how sounds affects the body and senses. It challenges the viewer to heighten their aural experiences by removing the relationship of performer and audience (dutifully watching performer) and creating a space-specific site where sounds envelope the viewer and their sight is partly conjured by the viewers own creative mind.

ME'D1.ATE is seeking sound artists and musicians interested in exploring new connections and experiences between performer and audience with their music and sounds. Through their performance (or collaboration with other artist(s)), SURROUND>SOUND aims to create a unique event that will inspire and challenge audiences with a new, bold and intense sound and music experience.

ME'D1.ATE accepts current or new work to perform. Performers are encouraged to explore ideas of getting audiences to a closer experience to their own sound/music. (Whatever is most appropriate for their own work). ie Blindfolds/space-specific design, installation, visual cues (ie projection, lights, imagery, film, video, performance/antics, etc) ME'D1.ATE can help explore those possibilities with you in terms of collaborators, equipment and feasibility needs.
