April 9 If we had 9.1 ears ATMOS(TM) would make sense

Music never sleeps. In a hall or a bar, multiple insruments fill the space with echoes, our head+ear transfer function allows us to localize and construct a soundstage, and we enjoy the music.

L&C College has art and music programs. They have created an outdoor 16 channel listening environment, the Experimental Art Research Forest - EAR Forest. https://college.lclark.edu/departments/art/ear-forest/

Annie Sprinkle + Beth Stephens https://sprinklestephens.ucsc.edu/ have been doing a Spring arts residency at the school. This evening they are reading out their 16 channel composition in the woods.

The EAR Forest is seeking artists, so listen up sound healers, ambient composers, hardware synthers, and sound artists.
