Today being World Listening Day, I thought it would be the perfect time to announce that the Sonorous Desert City Project: Suite I-III was fully funded thanks to a generous grant by the Tucson Pima Arts Council.
But in a nutshell... as many of you already know by now, Tucson is a sonically resonate city surrounded by the Sonoran Desert --- a sonorous desert ---- with a unique and often under-appreciated sound ecology.
The Sonorous Desert City Project seeks to reacquaint Tucson (and newly acquaint the rest of the world) with our shared aural landscape through a series of listening performances and a limited edition recording.
The CD recordings will be available at no charge locally during the soundwalks, and for the cost of postage and an envelope mailed to anyone interested in hearing more.
