SUMMARY:Lavender Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Lavender Ruins may not play if Fog x Ruins is offline. Click here to check on the status of Fog x Ruins and other fog sculptures. \nAn evening concert sound installation by Neil Leonard made in response to Fog x Ruins\, Fujiko Nakaya’s site-specific fog sculpture for Franklin Park’s Overlook Shelter Ruins\, the site where Elma Lewis invited Duke Ellington to perform annually for Playhouse in the Park. \nLeonard’s composition fills the site of Nakaya’s dancing fog and lighting design by Shiro Takatani\, with sound that also pays tribute to the visionary concepts of Fujiko Nakaya and the sonic imagination of Duke Ellington. The work revisits selected themes by Ellington including Lady of the Lavender Mist\, The Kissing Mist\, Atmosphere (Moon Mist)\, A Blue Fog That You Can Almost See Through (Transblucency)\, The Fog That Clouds It (Schwiphti). As these titles suggest\, the music is atmospheric\, lush and mist-like. The sound is reminiscent of Duke Ellington’s Boston-area born saxophonists\, Harry Carney and Johnny Hodges\, who recorded these themes with Ellington\, and performed with his orchestra in the Ruins. \nThis 20-minute sound installation\, playing at 5:00pm and 6:00pm\, comprises an array of speakers located at the Overlook Shelter Ruins surrounding the fog sculpture and audience. \n\nPresentation of this program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter\, Eugene M. Lang Foundation and an anonymous donor.

SUMMARY:Log(x)
DESCRIPTION:A sculpture/sound installation by Kaitlyn Burke of Kadence Arts in response to Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog x Canopy\, this series of Aeolian wind harps play in response to the fog and wind\, creating music from the environment. Unearthly\, ephemeral sounds fill the Fens as Nakaya’s fog sculptures unfold\, changing in response to the environment. \nThese harps have logarithmic relationships\, mirroring the mathematical relationships that govern our senses. In conversation with Nayaka’s fog sculptures and Olmsted’s landscape design\, you are invited to explore the line between what is natural and what is man made. \nThe installation will be up for two days\, and can be heard when the fog is running or the wind is blowing. \n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M. Lang Foundation.

SUMMARY:Lyric
DESCRIPTION:Keyboard musician Ben Schwendener and opera singer Carley DeFranco are joined by dancer Shari Repasz in Lyric\, a musical improvisation above Fog x Hill. Lyrics are borrowed from contemporary poetry that explores the role of the self in relation to natural surroundings and human interactions. The poems are connected through natural imagery and a contemporary sense of self within our expansive\, complicated environment. Using simple yet potentially limitless designs with the Circle of Lydian Keys\, Schwendener creates\, modally\, what he terms ‘geometric polyphony’ – harmonic melodies that accompany the texts realized in the moment by DeFranco. \nPerformances at 3pm and 4pm. \n\n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M. Lang Foundation.

SUMMARY:Gong Soundscape
DESCRIPTION:Playing gong\, singing bowls\, and bells\, Nancy Aleo will create a gong soundscape responding to the shifting wind\, the flowing fog\, the hissing sculpture\, voices\, and the natural sounds of the place. Meditative and otherworldly at times\, each of the five performances will be unique. Respectfully honoring Fujiko Nakaya’s visionary work\, the sounds will expand and drift around the space\, then fade similar to the fog moving and dissipating over the landscape. \n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M.

SUMMARY:Dadabex: Conservation\, Connection and Hybridity
DESCRIPTION:Dadabex: Conservation\, Connection and Hybridity evolves from an ongoing collaboration with the Institute of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Zurich.

SUMMARY:Lavender Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Please note: Lavender Ruins may not play if Fog x Ruins is offline. Click here to check on the status of Fog x Ruins and other fog sculptures. \nAn evening concert sound installation by Neil Leonard made in response to Fog x Ruins\, Fujiko Nakaya’s site-specific fog sculpture for Franklin Park’s Overlook Shelter Ruins\, the site where Elma Lewis invited Duke Ellington to perform annually for Playhouse in the Park. \nLeonard’s composition fills the site of Nakaya’s dancing fog and lighting design by Shiro Takatani\, with sound that also pays tribute to the visionary concepts of Fujiko Nakaya and the sonic imagination of Duke Ellington. The work revisits selected themes by Ellington including Lady of the Lavender Mist\, The Kissing Mist\, Atmosphere (Moon Mist)\, A Blue Fog That You Can Almost See Through (Transblucency)\, The Fog That Clouds It (Schwiphti). As these titles suggest\, the music is atmospheric\, lush and mist-like. The sound is reminiscent of Duke Ellington’s Boston-area born saxophonists\, Harry Carney and Johnny Hodges\, who recorded these themes with Ellington\, and performed with his orchestra in the Ruins. \nThis 20-minute sound installation\, playing at 5:00pm and 6:00pm\, comprises an array of speakers located at the Overlook Shelter Ruins surrounding the fog sculpture and audience. \n\nPresentation of this program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter\, Eugene M.

SUMMARY:HERON
DESCRIPTION:A sound and dance piece by performance duo Lord and June\, HERON interacts with Nakaya’s large-scale fog sculptures at the Leverett Pond site in Brookline. HERON features an ambient sound composition\, spatialized by key participants wearing small wireless speakers housed within sculptural vessels and following the performance as it meanders along the path. Different sections of the soundscape explore the types of tonalities that blend with the different environments: the large twisting trees moving in the wind\, the stillness of the open water\, and the movement of waterfowl on and above the pond. \nThe scene will follow the movement of a solo dancer (Sara June) who will create sculptural forms with her body reminiscent of the blue heron and other water fowl who dwell in this environment. HERON will take place an hour prior to sunset as a temporal element of the work includes the passage of the sun from just above to just below the horizon line. The final minutes of the performance will occur in near-darkness. \nHERON will be cancelled in the event of heavy rain. \n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M. Lang Foundation.

SUMMARY:Music for Ground and Atmosphere
DESCRIPTION:For years\, Ben Cosgrove has devoted his career to composing and performing music that reflects and considers landscape and place in environments all over the world. Intrigued by the variety of human responses to physical geography\, he has used music both as an opportunity to explore landscapes and as a means of encouraging audiences to critically consider the shape\, contour\, boundaries\, and meaning of the environments they inhabit. \nMusic for Ground and Atmosphere is a 45-minute live performance on keyboard and guitar interwoven with live improvisation and pre-composed material to respond musically to Olmsted and Nakayas’ spatial & artistic decisions. Performances will take place at 4:00pm and 5:00pm. \n\nPresentation of this program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter\, Eugene M. Lang Foundation and an anonymous donor.

SUMMARY:Partial View
DESCRIPTION:Actors Raúl Avila\, Shelby Hylton\, and Raven Jalise Pace use recorded interviews as source material in Tim Ney’s Partial View. Some stories of the Fenway will be used verbatim\, others will be interpreted in voice\, movement and sound. Memories\, like fog\, can be temporal and fleeting. The piece offers spectators only partial views\, not a full proscenium stage narrative. \nThe site-specific piece is based on the Fenway Memory Project\, an oral history of the neighborhood.  It was created for Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog x Canopy installation in the Back Bay Fens. Partial View is presented by [ bitsandflow ] with funding from the Emerald Necklace Conservancy and the Mission Hill / Fenway Neighborhood Trust. \n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M.

SUMMARY:Gong Soundscape
DESCRIPTION:Playing gong\, singing bowls\, and bells\, Nancy Aleo will create a gong soundscape responding to the shifting wind\, the flowing fog\, the hissing sculpture\, voices\, and the natural sounds of the place. Meditative and otherworldly at times\, each of the five performances will be unique. Respectfully honoring Fujiko Nakaya’s visionary work\, the sounds will expand and drift around the space\, then fade similar to the fog moving and dissipating over the landscape. \n\nThis program is made possible with generous support from Barbara and Amos Hostetter and Eugene M.
