A Walk in the Woods
A Musical Journey at Lancaster Art Vault
Performance Description:
Walk in the Woods is an immersive, three-part musical experience that invites the audience to wander through the gallery, experiencing music as a natural counterpart to the art around them. The performance balances composed structure with spontaneous improvisation. Musicians will be positioned throughout the gallery, allowing the audience to move freely and experience the music from different perspectives—much like walking through the woods and listening to the surrounding sounds. As the audience strolls and explores the artwork, they will be enveloped in a soundscape that flows naturally, intuitively responding to the space and environment.
The piece unfolds in three distinct sections:
Birdsong – The opening, filled with light, fluttering sounds, evokes the delicate calls of birds at dawn, setting a peaceful, contemplative tone.
Harmonics – A shift into ethereal harmonies creates a space where subtle overtones and resonances bring an otherworldly quality to the soundscape.
Melody in Lydian Dominant Mode – The final section introduces a bold, soaring melody in Lydian Dominant mode, offering a sense of movement and resolution, while retaining a sense of open, expansive energy.
FREE FOR ALL AGES. THURSDAY, APRIL 10TH 5:30-8:00PM
