Ambient Sounds/Ambient Spaces
2:01 p.m.
in the pedestrian tunnel across from the Conservatory
of Flowers, under John F. Kennedy Drive
Golden Gate Park
San Francisco, CA
of:
Dan Cantrell – accordion, saw
Seth Augustus – Singing, guitar, Igil, Doshpuluur
Tim Barsky – flute, beatboxing, and storytelling
Polly Moller – flute and bass flute
Walkers, joggers, and strollers can find a brief reprieve from above-ground auto traffic through the smoothly arched tunnel that
serves as a serene pedestrian byway under John F. Kennedy Drive. Opening up to the stately greenhouses of San Francisco's Conservatory of Flowers, the tunnel's setting is not only a treat for the eye, but for the ear as well. The acoustical resonance of the tunnel bestows warmth and depth to sounds produced both within and nearby. Musicians are well aware of the acoustic properties of the space, indeed there are "underground" performances in it daily. (Performance may be delayed slightly if other musicians are already performing in the space at 2:01.)
