It’s finally here! (abstract)URGE officially opens on Thursday, Nov 14, 2024 at RAW Space in Vero Beach, Florida. The opening will be from 5:30 – 8:30PM. I hope you’ll join us for a stimulating evening.

(abstract)URGE art exhibition at RAW Space, Vero Beach, FL. Aric Attas, Reardin Creative, Shotsi Lajoie, Barry Shapiro, Xaque Gruber, Christina Bates, Gabriela Hernandez & Leslie Stokes

I’ll be premiering my latest work titled Symbiotic, a series of live generative music installations, performances and recordings created in collaboration with plants. Check out Symbiotic here to learn more and hear some excerpts.

In addition, the exhibition will feature abstract artists Shotsi Lajoie, Barry Shapiro, Xaque Gruber, Christina Bates, Gabriela Hernandez and Leslie Stoke. There also will be a short documentary on the creative process by Reardin Creative highlighting all of the artists in the exhibition.

This promises to be a very thought-provoking exhibition with multiple events, performances and talks exploring creativity from a variety of perspectives.

I’ll be guiding a sound walk at RAW Space on Saturday, November 16, 2024 from 10:00AM – 11:30AM. This is a free/by donation event.

Have you ever truly listened to your surroundings? Join us for a unique exploration of the Edgewood neighborhood, where we’ll tune into the world in ways you may have never imagined. Inspired by Hildegard Westerkamp’s concept of the soundwalk—”any excursion whose main purpose is listening to the environment”—this experience is designed to open your ears and awaken your senses.

Discover the Sonic Wonders of Edgewood: A Guided Soundwalk Experience with Sound Artist Aric Attas

Posted on 1 November 2024 by

Edgewood Soundwalks
Saturday, January 11, 2025
Saturday, February 22, 2025
10:00AM – 11:30AM
RAW Space
1795 Old Dixie Highway
Vero Beach, FL 32960
This event is free/by donation. We ask that you please register here.

Aric Attas

Have you ever truly listened to your surroundings? Join us for a unique exploration of the Edgewood neighborhood, where we’ll tune into the world in ways you may have never imagined. Inspired by Hildegard Westerkamp’s concept of the soundwalk—”any excursion whose main purpose is listening to the environment”—this experience is designed to open your ears and awaken your senses.

What to Expect
We’ll begin with an introduction to the art of sound walking—how to embrace stillness, open up to the environment, and let the sounds around us guide our journey.

From there, we’ll embark on a slow, mindful walk through the neighborhood surrounding RAW Space, immersing ourselves in its rich sonic textures.

Afterward, we’ll gather to listen to a few recordings and share our impressions. You’ll discover how much more there is to hear once you start paying attention!

Whether you’re an artist, a curious explorer, or simply someone looking for a deeper connection to your surroundings, this soundwalk promises to offer a fresh perspective.

What to Bring
– A small notebook to jot down your observations and insights. (Optional)
– An audio recorder or phone (with wind protection) if you’d like to capture some of the sounds along the way. (Optional)

Important Notes
To preserve the integrity of the listening experience, we ask participants to limit conversations and cellphone use during the walk. Let’s allow the sounds of the environment to take center stage.

Come listen to the world in a way you’ve never heard before! 🌿👂✨ 

Contact me with any questions regarding this truly unique sonic adventure!

Listen to sounds from our previous soundwalks here http://photonlab.com/2024/12/30/sounds-of-old-dixie-highway/
