"Letters and Dreams" is a new musical and poetic work, artistically directed by Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, inspired by Deep Listening®, a practice created by revolutionary feminist and LGBTQ+ composer Pauline Oliveros and her partner, dream specialist IONE. Within Deep Listening, Quantum Listening suggests that through focused and global listening, we can "be" present in multiple times and geographies simultaneously. This is the artistic setting for the collaboration of IONE, Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Moe Clark, and Mili Hong, in which they will converse with their ancestors and the earth they walk on in a dream-like, improvisation-based setting. As part of the preparation for the performance, "found sounds" were collected in Jerusalem, Chile, Western Canada, and Montreal from urban and natural environments. Ayelet created graphic scores that the Ecuadorian Choir 'Ciudad de Quito' interpreted and pre-recorded. During the performance, Ayelet will play live with these sounds using a midi instrument specially built for her by electro-acoustic musician and sonic practice artist Elizabeth A. Baker.
The audience is invited to listen to pre-recorded sound walks on the Echoes phone app while walking through the streets leading up to La Sala Rossa from Metros Laurier and Mont-Royal. All are called to enter the listening space before setting foot in the concert venue.
