Earth Dayta: Music, Media, & Real World Data In Performance with Nature
Earth Day, April 23rd, 2022, Myrtle Tree Arts, in partnership with the American River Conservancy, and in collaboration with Folsom Lake College Innovation Center, brought Earth Dayta to life, featuring artistic works using sensory and scientific data, live and historical--to perceive and dialog with the earth, at the Wakamatsu Farm in Placerville, CA
Featured piece, Harbingers, was conceived by Ameera Godwin in collaboration with composers, Miguel Noya, Paul Godwin, and Aron Faria, and performed live with them and Dustin Koupal. In Tree-provisation, Zack Dowell translated voltages from leaves of an ancient tree into musical notes to which musicians, Elena Delacy, Alex Porte, Darin Coelho-Spring, Dustin Koupal improvised. Rina Wakefield, spoken word artist, presented original poetry created for the event.
“Harbingers” are subtle yet observable signs of climate change.
As part of Earth Dayta, the three-part Harbingers Interweaves climate data, historical weather records, original and found images, and music to experience relationships between nature and human activity in the Sierra Foothills from the 1800s through 2099, to sense of place and history.
