Eclipsing
POINT A, artists Andrew Schneider and Annie Saunders, have partnered with the Long Center to create a new site-specific soundwalk, free and open to the public. Eclipsing was made in collaboration with astrophysicists and the local community, using recordings made from the environment and serendipitous storytelling. Accessed in public space with headphones, the walk is full of ‘was-that-part-of-it’ moments. Audience members will embark on a journey starting at the Long Center and then on to the Trail at Lady Bird Lake. Binaural sound design is activated by precise location and time of day, narration is researched, created, and recorded on location in Austin, and live interactions are hidden in plain sight. Just another day – regular people doing regular things – and then all suddenly, magically synchronous. Like an eclipse.
