Brooklyn Botanic Garden & Metropolis Ensemble Present BIOPHONY: SOUNDGARDEN
Performances are February 11 & 12, 2023.
Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Metropolis Ensemble has announced Biophony: SoundGarden, an immersive soundbath experience created by composer Ricardo Romaneiro for Brooklyn Botanic Garden's conservatories taking place on February 11 and 12, 2023.
The installation includes an audiovisual tapestry (sound design by Leo Leite) and lighting installation (light design by Dominic Chang) running in sync with plant-generated soundscapes and groupings of live musicians situated in each of the Conservatory pavilions highlighting varied ecosystems. Seventeen composers/performers collaborated with Romaneiro to develop graphic scores within a larger compositional structure, while also working alongside gardeners and curators to develop this site-specific project co-commissioned by Metropolis Ensemble and Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
Biophony: SoundGarden will be open to the public on February 11 and 12, 2023, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. with an ongoing audiovisual experience featuring plant-generated and interactive musical elements as well as live, concurrent performances in each Conservatory pavilion at 10:30 a.m,, 11:30 a.m, 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. both days. Visiting Biophony: SoundGarden is free with Garden admission.
