A singer stands in a grove of magnolia trees, activating the quiet garden with her voice. Using a purpose-built sound system, her singing enters into dialogue with speakers installed in the branches above, stretching time and mapping the space sonically. As she offers fragments of Händel operas to the garden, her voice is received, suspended, and gradually transformed. Through a computer-controlled system of feedback loops and echoes, the singing becomes frozen in time, unfolding into a web of interacting tones that shift, morph, and multiply. Points and lines of sound emerge, forming rich harmonic fields that coalesce into a slowly evolving spectral ecosystem. As each cycle unfolds, the original voice recedes, replaced by a dense acoustic environment reminiscent of natural habitats—a rainforest, a mountain lakeside, a meadow at dusk. Together, voice and electronics trace an immersive sonic topography that redefines space through sound.
Help protect migrants by donating to Border Angels.
We invite all fans of Project [BLANK] to join us in supporting Border Angels, a nonprofit organization dedicated to humanitarian aid, migrant rights, and social justice along the U.S.–Mexico border. At each event this season, we will be collecting valuable items to help support our neighbors in need.
WORKING TITLE NO. 5
May 28, 29 & 30, 2026 → ST PAUL’S EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL
Now in its fifth year, WORKING TITLE has become Project [BLANK]’s signature celebration of experimental art and music in the San Diego–Tijuana borderlands. What began as a small group art show has evolved into a three-day festival that draws together a dynamic mix of emerging and established artists from both sides of the border!
