VCAMbient Session #19: “Sailing the Slow Seas of Smooth” with Justin "JG" Geller
Wednesday, March 22 Noon
VCAM Lounge
This session is the first installment of a larger audio project that reflects on the relationship between sound, emotion, and time. Often the sad times in our life seem to last forever and moments of joy go by in the blink of an eye. What happens if we try to slow down that joy? Make it last longer? I heard a song the other day and I thought, "This just sounds like slowed-down soft rock". It became the seed of this session. What if I took 70/80s era soft rock (“Yacht Rock”, if you will) and slowed it down to where it was just barely recognizable? What if we removed the drums and banished the singers to space? Let's find out together.
VCAMbient is a weekly curated series in which music–played live or via recordings by members of the Bi-Co community–will play at low volume Wednesdays noon-1pm in the VCAM Lounge.
Interested? You can propose to play someone else’s music, or (even better) your own, as long as the volume level is kept low. Contact Hurford Center Director Gus Stadler at gstadler [at] haverford.edu">gstadler [at] haverford.edu with your idea for a VCAMbient session.
