soundpedro2020schizophonia : Virtual Breakout During the Outbreak
June 6 – November 27, 2020
Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, soundpedro looked and sounded a little different in 2020. As we were not able to present onsite at Angels Gate Cultural Center, we approached soundpedro 2020 artists to reimagine their proposed onsite performance/installation into either a virtual experience or as a virtual performance sample. We are pleased to present them virtually, here at soundpedro.org.
What is Schizophonia?
“Schizophonia is a term coined by R. Murray Schafer to describe the splitting of an original sound and its electroacoustic reproduction. This concept comes from the invention of electroacoustic equipment for the transmission of sound, which meant that any sound could be recorded and sent anywhere around the world.”
