Join LAND on Saturday, April 27th for the next iteration of Soundscapes, our programming series dedicated to experimental music and sound-based practices. ⁠
⁠
Multidisciplinary sound artist Alan Poma (@alanpoma001) presents The Gold Fish, curated by Paulina Lara (@lapau3_), a performance reimagining the birth of a mythical creature from the man-made wetlands adjacent to Lake Titicaca. Alan draws parallels between the basins surrounding the lake, and the artifice of Augustus F. Hawkins Nature Park in Los Angeles. At dawn and dusk, Alan captured sounds from nature throughout the park. The soundscape also incorporates daily pedestrian and car traffic to bring contemporary life into the composition. ⁠
⁠
The work combines audiovisual elements that reposition Amerindian cultural traditions in a non-linear future to establish connections between Amerindian traditions through shared cosmologies. On Saturday, April 27th, Alan will play eight field recordings on cassette, rescore, and live mix the works on site at Augustus F. Hawkins Nature Park. ⁠
⁠
This performance is made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (@culture_la).⁠
⁠
Free to attend with RSVP. Link in bio.

“Quintana found that cyanotypes — once used for architectural designs — could serve as an emotional and cultural blueprint of L.A. This art form would allow him to engage with subjects, bringing people, objects and locales into focus while adding context to signage and exteriors like walls, gates and sidewalks, which Street View often neglects. The manual approach of cyanotypes, countering the rapidness of Google technology and digital characteristics, offered Quintana time to thoughtfully develop the image.”

Words by Sarah Quiñones Wolfson, @latimes
