L’ultimo appuntamento, di quattro eventi nel Parco Riviera D'Ulisse. Oggi alle 16:00

Through the Voice of Trees - Tallahassee sound walk, you’ll discover local poets who pay homage to Cascades Park, one of the City of Tallahassee’s gems

By following the route on the Echoes app, visitors will hear a selection of original poems read aloud by the poets themselves.  Each poem represents a different location within Cascades Park and encourages visitors to discover spots for quiet contemplation. Inspired by the monumental trees and surrounding landscape, these poems serve as a celebration of the unique features of the area. From Smokey Hollow Pond to Centennial Field, visitors can explore the city’s history while enjoying its natural beauty.   

Included in this sound walk are original poems by local poets Summer Hill Seven, Terri Carrion, Michael Rothenberg, and Virgil Suárez. 

Voice of Trees - Tallahassee is a collaboration between COCA, 100 Thousand Poets for Change, and the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Affairs Department.  

This initiative was made possible in partnership with Italian artist Giovanna Iorio who developed the Voice of Trees project in an effort to preserve the voices of poets and link their work to the landscape. Tallahassee and New York City are the only Voice of Trees locations in the United States. Our city joins a global Voice of Trees community which includes Italy, France, England, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Greenland, Ireland, Spain, Japan, and the Netherlands.  

Installazione dedicata alla musica del M° Giuseppe Natale, Concerti da camera nel Parco di  Villa Doria Pamphilj a Roma. Anche questa installazione fa parte di Voice of Trees. Da oggi sono attive nel parco una serie di isole musicali che si accendono in diverse aree del parco permettendo di ascoltare originali composizioni del famoso musicista italiano.
In particolare l'installazione fa parte del progetto Museum of Sounds, una serie di omaggi ad artisti del suono e musicisti di tutto il mondo.
Nella sezione del sito Museum of Sounds altre informazioni.
Si tratta sempre di una installazione permanente e crescerà nel tempo con altre isole musicali.

​La voce dei poeti tra gli alberi della Riviera di Ulisse
Un’installazione poetica permanente, curata dall’Associazione Culturale Leggendarie,
arricchirà i sentieri del parco. Tramite dei QR-code reperibili sul posto, il visitatore potrà
scaricare, sul proprio dispositivo, un'applicazione che, sfruttando la geolocalizzazione,
proporrà una poesia diversa per ogni luogo.
Questa idea, di Giovanna Iorio, già adottata in Regno Unito (Hyde Park, Epping Forest),
Irlanda, Francia (Nizza, Sete, Parigi, Marsiglia), New York (Central Park), Nuova Zelanda,
Groenlandia e Giappone, renderà ancora più suggestivi luoghi come il Sentiero Natura
Promontorio Villa di Tiberio, Monte Orlando, Gianola e la Torre Quadrata.
I percorsi, attualmente, includono più di 20 poeti italiani dal 900 ad oggi e anche artisti
locali contemporanei. Inoltre sono disponibili “12 Poesie d'amore per un albero” di
Giovanna Iorio, declamate dalla voce di Barbara Marchand, con musiche di Lucio
Lazzaruolo.
«Un modo esemplare - spiega la Presidente del Parco Carmela Cassetta - per coniugare
tecnologia, cultura e immersione in natura. E probabilmente non si poteva farlo che con la
poesia».
La predisposizione di ogni percorso sarà preceduta da un evento inaugurale gratuito e
aperto a tutti che offrirà ai partecipanti una passeggiata a piedi tra le voci dei poeti, un
reading poetico con la presenza dal vivo di poeti del territorio e un concerto-perfomance
poetico dal titolo “Amando Amando” ideato della poetessa Rossella Tempesta e
teatralizzato dai maestri Caterina Bono, al violino, e Vincenzo Zenobio al clarino e
fisarmonica.
Il primo della serie si terrà domenica 13 settembre nell’area naturale di Gianola (Formia).

MUSICA NOTTURNO CONCERTANTE

explore.echoes.xyz/collections/SEv5IQJZSSrxQIly

Voice of Trees brings the voice of some of the most important Italian poets of the 20th Century Belgrave Square in proximity of the Italian Institute for Culture: Montale, Ungaretti, Pasolini, Merini, Rosselli, Fortini, Luzi, Caproni, Gatto and Love poems for a Tree make a moving sound walk in the heart of the city. 

To find the walk download the App and go to Belgrave Square. 

Voice of Trees brings the voice of poets in the landscape using the sound archive Poetry Sound Library.

What if we could find in every city a "Museum of sounds" in the landscape where people could immerse themselves in  some of the most inspiring work of sound artists from the present and past?

I have started to create sound walks dedicated to the installation of some of my favorite sound artists (see the page MUSEUM OF SOUNDS for more info).

In Amsterdam, in the beautiful Sarphatipark, one of nicest parks in town according to many,  I have created a sound walk that is a tribute to American sound artist David Schafer . In the blue areas (see map) people in Amsterdam can now enjoy again his  sound installation "The Intruder/De Indringer"  (2004). 

David Schafer is a visual artist who works in multiple forms of production, including sculpture, sound, performance, and works on paper. His work is concerned with the structure, translation, and intelligibility of language, and the combining of sculpture, sound, and text. His discursive projects embody subjects from cultural memory that are both theoretical and idiosyncratic.
Los Angeles, CA.
In 2004 The Intruder/De Indringer was in Middelburg. Mounted on the exterior of the 15th century deVleeshal was a large PA speaker-horn that emitted in both Dutch and English a short Dutch children's story approximately 10 minutes long. The story was sounded once a day after the 1:15 pm bells at a volume that could be heard just out of the public square that the deVleeshal faces. A female voiceover from Los Angeles read the English version, and a male Dutch voiceover read the Dutch version. The story is from a book by Piet Prins, a Dutch author, and the story deals with the subject of oppression and ethics during the Reformation within a typical narrative structure. On the interior exhibition space of deVleeshal there were two other works. One a freestanding medium sized sculpture fabricated of small aluminum I-beams bolted and riveted together and whose orientation and composition recall a late modernist formalist style of expression. The third element was a wall-mounted digital C-print whose image derived from the sculpture itself as it is modeled in a 3D comic book style. The fourth element of the project involved an 18" x 24" poster that used a double image of the deVleeshal tower. The poster was put up around the town of Middelburg as part of the exhibition.
