Soundwalk is so pleased to announce its partnership with the Jewish Community Centre of London! For a limited time, the Centre is running a contest on their site for 10 free Soundwalks per month, with a choice between the Lower East Side and the two Williamsburg walks, as a part of their spring feature on Jewish life in New York City. JCC London is a hip source of information about what’s going on in England’s cultural hub, with art, film, and book reviews and an up-to-date calendar of the season’s highlights.

THE SOUND
Dear A.,
since I listened to your reflections about that remote place buried in the sand (and yet, a place that somehow you had been calling home), I have been thinking about getting you a snap of this one space/time corridor of mine. This too is a place where I like to feel at home – even if it is nothing like a home and not even much of an actual place at all – just a string of points lined up in mid air, a trajectory. But as you know well, sometimes the travel is the destination, and indeed I like to recognize a sense of belonging up here.
Wherever you happen to be these days – happy 2010,
Gill
Sounds and images captured between Brooklyn and Reggio Emilia, 22-24 December 2009.
THE ARTIST
Gill Arno was born in Italy and lives in Brooklyn, NY. His work explores areas where sound and image overlap, and is often constructed with found objects and found sound. In the project mpld he utilizes two old modified slide projectors to create performances where static images become pulsating and fade continuously into one another. The projector’s mechanical sounds are tapped and manipulated to reveal their musical potential. Other activities include performances with the New York Phonographers and in various other collaborative and improvised settings. He publishes books, recordings and other multiples via his own imprint, Unframed Recordings, and runs Fotofono, a small studio in Brooklyn where sometimes public events are held.

pedro’s was the only place to eat in this area a long time ago. there was nothing around here. i used to come here for parties and said, “who would live here?!”
