Ear Ride in the Garden

Ear Ride is a site-specific sound installation created and directed by Sara Caneva and proposed in the form of a treasure hunt. An audience, walkers/listeners, will move along the trails of the Villa dei Pini garden, following various tracks: voices, creaks, trains, birds and fountains of unknown provenance that guide the ear and therefore the walk. Some sounds lead straightforward from one stage to the next, while others stay well-hidden and require more attention to be discovered. This walk aims to make a geographical path perceived through time as a musical composition, and the listening as a creative act. SARA CANEVA, composer and conductor, is currently in residence at the Centro Studi as Bogliasco Fellow in Music.
