OPENING RECEPTION | Bill Fontana “Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame and the Dachstein Glacier”


September 14, 2-4 PM

Bill Fontana’s Silent Echoes: Notre-Dame and the Dachstein Glacier is a duet between two sites of field recording: the melting Dachstein glacier in Austria, and the dormant bells of Notre-Dame after the 2019 fire. Together, they thread a sound sculpture that builds upon Fontana’s historic exploration of acoustic cubism through layered sound. The six-channel sound sculpture will be audible from Dickson Court adjacent to Royce Hall’s south entrance.
