Annie Lewandowski’s (CRF 2014) Siren: Composers of the Sea will be at MASS MoCA’s Hunter Center this Saturday, January 22.
In Siren composer and performer Annie Lewandowski, artist and coder Kyle McDonald, and scenic designer Amy Rubin explore humpback whale song in a true meeting of intelligences—humpback whale, human, and artificial. Their visually and sonically immersive piece reveals the wounded flourishing of the humpback whale, a species that continues to sing amidst the threat of entanglement. Siren celebrates the beauty and conservation legacy of the multi-platinum record Songs of the Humpback Whale on its 50th anniversary while providing a window into the creative minds of our ancient mammalian relative in a contemporary experience of its ever-evolving song.
During Free Day—MASS MoCA’s annual community celebration—on January 22, the public will be invited to experience Siren: Composers of the Sea in the Hunter Center. Siren will start every half hour and run for 40 minutes with a 20-minute break in between each show. For more details, click here.
