Audio Parade: Field Recording #4, 2009

Anitra Hamilton - Toronto, Canada

Sound Installation

Anitra Hamilton's Audio Parade: Field Recording #4, fills the courtyard of Toronto's Old City Hall with the traditional oom-pah-pah's of a parade that befits the season and spirit of the evening. The whole parade will be broadcast from speakers lit by streams of light from stained-glass windows and the smiling faces of the audio spectators. Create the parade that you are listening to as you walk around in circles listening to the parade.
