An evening with a pioneer in sound-sculptured sensoria. We’ll listen through the expanse of Bill Fontana’s career, from the sonic landscape of Australia during a solar eclipse to the Acqua Vergine aqueducts underneath Rome. Through Fontana’s work we get an experiential education in sound recording, projection, and listening. Q&A with Bill Fontana. **All streaming shows start at 6PM Pacific Time.
