New York sound artist, Andrea Williams, utilizes site-specific elements
and perceptual cues to reveal the unseen connections between people and their
environment. Her compositions make use of field recordings, instruments, computer
technologies and the sound of the performance space itself. She has led soundwalks
based on concepts of acoustic ecology and Deep Listening in New York City, San
Francisco, and also in people’s dreams in a collaborative project called SleepWalks.
She has shown and performed both solo and with various musicians and artists at
galleries and alternative spaces internationally, such as the Whitney Museum,
Eyebeam, The Kitchen, Children’s Creativity Museum, NPR, and the Mamori sound artist
residency in the Amazon rainforest. She is a board member of the American Society
for Acoustic Ecology, and she is studying our connection to water via soundwalks as
a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic Arts at RPI in Troy, NY.
