Around the Community | Audium: New Voices II
APAture artist and sound editor for KSW’s podcast, “We Won’t Move”, Alex Abalos, is one of three resident artists at Audium. Check out their residency happening every Thursday-Saturday from 2/9/23 - 4/1/23.
“Audium is launching the second edition of the popular NEW VOICES artist-in-residence program. After the warm welcome from audiences attending the first-ever Audium Sound Residency last year, Audium’s specially-built speaker environment has been home to three new artists since October 2022. During three months of creation, the artists have explored sound movement, texture, and spatialization within Audium’s unique, pitch-black 176-speaker space.
Artists Sharmi Basu, Alex Abalos and Ronald Peabody have transformed the theater into an otherworldly experience grounded in Bay Area roots. The residents have designed their own original spatial works and will perform their sound movement live. The show extends beyond the speaker space, spilling out into the lobby with elements of sound, electronics, poetry, graffiti and projection surrounding the audience from the moment they enter the building.”
