Berlin-based sound artist Eric Wong transforms Bread & Salt into an immersive, decentralized sonic environment using dozens of Bluetooth speakers scattered throughout the space and among the audience. Harmonic and inharmonic tones shift and interfere depending on where you stand, creating a constantly changing, interactive experience. Sharing the bill is Seattle-based composer RM Francis with a haunting “depopulated opera” built from simulated human voices—an uncanny chorus of digital timbres that blurs the line between the organic and the synthetic. Together, Wong and Francis offer a night of spatial listening and technological experimentation that invites audiences into a sonic world of exploration, meditation, and imagination. Eric Wong’s performance made possible by a grant from the Goethe Institut. Project [BLANK]: Website / Facebook / Instagram
