Aquifer of the Ducts

James Allister Sprang

Tuesday, September 29, 2020 at 7pm + Thursday, October 1, 2020 at 7pm

Philadelphia FringeArts 2020 Fringe Festival

45 minutes, FREE on Zoom with RSVP (details TBC)

Join multidisciplinary artist James Allister Sprang in deep listening as part of the FringeArts Fringe Festival —what he describes as a radical action that allows us to slow down, turn inward, and heal. Deep listening consciously brings awareness to the present moment while welcoming our bodies, our ancestors, our traumas, our pain, our longings, visions, and dreams. 

A 40-minute soundscape of layered tape recordings and modulated synths, Aquifer of the Ducts is meant to be experienced with headphones in the comfort and safety of your home. This sonic quilt of looping vignettes culminates in a journey of accumulative departures and returns. Guided by Sprang, this live meditation offers a retreat. 

Produced in association with Lingua Franca Arts. 

James Allister Sprang developed material for Aquifer of the Ducts through the Camp Fringe residency supported by Independence Foundation and with support from The Painted Bride Art Center’s Building Bridges: Artists on the Rise residency program.

Festival Producer: Robert M. Dever
