Sounding Spaces is an improvised solo show by composer and musician, Barry Sharp. Sharp performs using various acoustic instruments such as his voice, violin, and trumpet with industrial ambiences recorded in airports, bathrooms, building vents, power generators, trains, beer coolers, and more. Recorded and remade into “drones,” each sound has its own resonant flavor and reflects both Sharp’s enthusiasm for discovering sounds in the urban landscape and—as anyone close to him would know—his tendency to sing with them. These sounds follow anyone living in a city on a daily basis and through this performance are transformed into something alive, cathartic, and even psychedelic.
