SoundCheckEarth will lead listeners into the natural world where the earth, humans and animals, are part of the soundscape inside the pristine beauty of Joshua Tree National Park. A site-specific immersive acoustic concert composed by Kennedy Verrett for 17 musicians, SoundCheckEarth will provide a strolling audience on the half mile walking path at Cap Rock with wondrous deep listening sensations. An unprecedented sonic event within the Park, coupled with the monumental beauty of the landscape–a bassoon player sheltered by a Joshua Tree, percussionists perched on boulders, strings, woodwinds and brass resonating with the rocks–SoundCheckEarth will create an unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to attend. A film by Eva Soltes will follow.
