DESCRIPTION:Whale Liberation Front members Peter Johnson Bowling and Cory Diane will 
 perform a live, electro-acoustic piece in relationship to their 
 installation Untitled, or, They’ve been singing since the gulf was born. 
 This piece is rooted in their long term sonic practices in solidarity with 
 the Gulf Whale and broader Gulf of Mexico ecosystems. Utilizing zither, 
 synthesizers, voice, water, and rare Gulf recordings, this performance will 
 imagine a sonic reclamation of waters monopolized by sounds of oil 
 extraction, centering Gulf Whale song in an immersive, evolving, 
 spatialized soundscape.\n\nPeter Johnson Bowling is a multi-instrumentalist 
 improviser, composer, music producer, sound designer, arranger, music 
 technologist, & collaborator based in New Orleans. Bowling works primarily 
 in live music performance, group/collaborative devising, and experimental 
 live composing, in addition to scoring and sound design. His interests 
 include live electroacoustic music, multichannel spatial speaker 
 compositions/installations, electronic improvisation, and multidisciplinary 
 collaboration.\n\nCory Diane is a composer, performer, researcher, and 
 sound artist based in New Orleans. Much of their practice explores sound 
 and vibration as ways of knowing, connecting climate justice, marine 
 science, gravitational wave astronomy, and lived experience. Their 
 long-term practice, “Reverie,” engages the soundscape of the Gulf of 
 Mexico in relation to and in solidarity with Gulf Whales. Their broader 
 work spans chamber orchestral composition, installation, creative 
 technology, and electroacoustic performance. An active collaborator, they 
 are a member of Wit’s End Brass Band and New Orleans Musicians for 
 Palestine, performing regularly throughout New Orleans.\n\nThis event is 
 presented as part of An Aesthetics of Resilience, a collaborative research 
 initiative of the Institute of the Arts and Sciences and the Friedlaender 
 Lab at UC Santa Cruz. The project brings scientists, artists, humanists, 
 and activists together to examine multiple experiences of vulnerability in 
 the face of climate change and is supported by a University of California 
 Office of the President California Climate Action Seed Grant, with 
 additional support from the Coha Nowark Art + Science Fund.\n\nFree\n
