DETROIT FREQUENCY Fisher Body Plant 21 Soundwalk

Detroit’s own Rebecca Goldberg will lead a series of 6 bimonthly soundwalks in her latest endeavor, Detroit Frequency. For the third installment Rebecca will focus on the sounds and textures of Detroit Industry at Fisher Body Plant 21.

Originally built in 1919, the Fisher Body Plant 21 is a 600,000 square feet former General Motors auto plant on a 4.7 acre parcel of land owned by the City of Detroit. The building has been abandoned since 1993.The former auto body plant has been vacant since 1993 and is located at 6051 Hastings Street.

A soundwalk is a walk where you focus on the sounds around you, and immerse yourself completely in the environment that you’re in. Soundwalking can be a very rejuvenating and meditative experience. As an ecological practice, soundwalking can be an entertainment or a method of inquiry, a call to action or a meditation. Soundwalks can play multiple roles all at once or shift intents from moment to moment. Deep, active listening can enrich and stimulate creative responses in day-to-day life, as well as inform the design of our built environment. Soundwalking can encourage greater care and respect for natural soundscapes as a part of human soundscapes, and awareness of how human soundscapes impact natural soundscapes.

Producer, live performer & DJ Rebecca Goldberg is known for her techno releases on Detroit Underground, and her performances around the globe. She’s also produced soundtracks, written original movie scores and is a graphic designer. Her latest project for the New BBC Radiophonic Workshop and their Travel Agency is yet another project that shows her range as a multidisciplinary artist which at the same time is very dear to her heart as it involves both her beloved home and her passion for experimental music.
