In Search of Lost Venues

In Search of Lost Venues captures the vibrant confluence of community and space over the history of Vancouver music by walking to lost venues with musicians who played there.

The mystery of Alex Mann: Part crime reenactment.  Part sensory safari. Wholly unreliable guided walk for two people.

All That You Hear is All That Is Heard

all that you hear is all that is heard is an experimental storytelling project using the motion sensors within our smartphones. The idea for this stemmed from Curator and Creative Producer Rachael Paintin. Site specific to the Nicholas Building (Melbourne, Australia), audio conversations with past and present tenants are woven into a composition that combines original score by Biddy Connor and The Letter String Quartet.
