Join us on a five day experience, taking your through
an amazing journey of discovery through art and music in Somerset, UK

What happens when experiences of sound and color start to intersect, to contrast and to resonate? Is there such a thing as “complementary sounds” out there in nature? When I paint, Paul Cézanne said, it is the landscape thinking itself through me. Can the synaesthetic interplay of hearing, seeing and making art provide a unifying experience of what it means to attend to and connect with a place in nature? To hear with fresh eyes? In this five-day course with teachers Jan van Boeckel and David Rothenberg, we immerse ourselves in the wild world of vivid colors and sounds.

From the sounds of wind, water, and sea to the music made by birds, whales, and insects, Rothenberg has travelled the globe listening for a music older than any made by humans alone, and spent years interacting with such sounds live and in the studio, and introducing this process to students at all levels.

For years, Van Boeckel has studied what happens when we meet the natural environment through art, putting our preconceived scientific knowledge and understandings at the side, to be able to heighten our receptivity and to engage in fundamentally open-ended learning processes.
