Track: from World of Echo by Arthur Russell

Guides: Nicholas & Malaya

Place: Dumbo

When American cellist and composer Arthur Russell released a 1986 album using only cello, voice, and echoes, he was at the leading edge of experimental, minimalist composition. In the nearly forty years since World of Echo, digital tools have vastly expanded the range of sonic possibility. But the weirdness — and the beauty — of Russell's music has only deepened. In our first-ever music-centered Sidewalk Study, we'll listen to Russell's album (at SoRA's echoey Sanctuary in Dumbo), then set out into the city with attention to acoustical curiosities.
