3RD EAR presents: 7 Intuitions 5

The fifth iteration of an ongoing series of extended form audio pieces, “7 Intuitions 5” is designed to open channels of communication with those close to us who have gone, left, or never came. Over a 24-hour period, beginning and ending at sunrise, Patrick Murch and JM Borer will build an immersive and ongoing drone environment. Acoustic and electronic sources will be recorded live onto cassette, and then re-recorded and layered into a sonic psycho-geography of the extraordinary.

Murch writes: “It's about using our bodies as antennas, turning the space into a handmade radio tower. Everything has a current: a spark that is borne within an individual or object that connects to the rivers of electricity that run through all levels (highs, mids, and lows) of this experience of life and death. Each new birth, death, idea, negation, emotion, etc. causes a new spark that is borne and sent to swim up the electric stream to the latently fertile ground of the collective unconscious. Here life and death are close compatriots, only two points along a knotted wire. Here we can talk, laugh, cry, play, collaborate, teach, learn.”

People are welcome to come and go and come again, walk-ins are welcome.
