Local Business schema markup enables you to tell Google about your business, including your business name, address and phone number, opening hours and price range. This information may be displayed as a Knowledge Graph card or business carousel.
Our Google News Sitemap lets you control which content you submit to Google News and only contains articles that were published in the last 48 hours. In order to submit a News Sitemap to Google, you must have added your site to Google’s Publisher Center and had it approved.
Add IndexNow support to instantly notify search engines when your content has changed. This helps the search engines to prioritize the changes on your website and helps you rank faster.
Globally control the Title attribute and Alt text for images in your content. These attributes are essential for both accessibility and SEO.

WordPress 6.7 Beta 1 is ready for download and testing!
\n\n\n\n
This beta version of the WordPress software is under development. Please do not install, run, or test this version of WordPress on production or mission-critical websites. Instead, set up a test environment or a local site to explore the new features.
\n\n\n\n
How to Test WordPress 6.7 Beta 1
\n\n\n\n
You can test Beta 1 in any of the following ways:
\n\n\n\n
WordPress Beta Tester Plugin
Install and activate the WordPress Beta Tester plugin on a WordPress install. Select the “Bleeding edge” channel and “Beta/RC Only” stream.
The scheduled final release date for WordPress 6.7 is November 12, 2024. Your help testing Beta and RC versions over the next six weeks is vital to ensuring the final release is everything it should be: stable, powerful, and intuitive.
\n\n\n\n
How important is your testing?
\n\n\n\n
Testing for issues is a critical part of developing any software, and it’s a meaningful way for anyone to contribute—whether or not you have experience.
\n\n\n\n
If you encounter an issue, please share it in the Alpha/Beta area of the support forums. If you are comfortable submitting a reproducible bug report, you can do so via WordPress Trac. You can also check your issue against a list of known bugs.
WordPress 6.7 will include many new features that were previously only available in the Gutenberg plugin. Learn more about Gutenberg updates since WordPress 6.7 in the What’s New in Gutenberg posts for versions 18.5, 18.6, 18.7, 18.8, 18.9, 19.0, 19.1, 19.2, and 19.3.
\n\n\n\n
What’s New in WordPress 6.7 Beta 1
\n\n\n\n
WordPress 6.7 Beta 1 contains over 500 enhancements and over 500 bug fixes for the editor, including more than 200 tickets for WordPress 6.7 Core. Here’s a glimpse of what’s coming:
\n\n\n\n
Meet the Twenty Twenty-Five theme
\n\n\n\n
Launching with WordPress 6.7, the new default theme, Twenty Twenty-Five, embodies ultimate flexibility and adaptability, showcasing how WordPress empowers you to tell your story with a rich selection of patterns and styles. Inspired by glimpses of natural beauty and ancestry heritage, it evokes ideas of impermanence, the passage of time, and continuous evolution–mirroring life’s journey. Experience effortless site creation with Twenty Twenty-Five and follow its progress or report issues on this GitHub repo.
\n\n\n\n
Zoom Out to Compose with Patterns
\n\n\n\n
The Zoom Out view simplifies your editing experience by allowing you to create and edit at the pattern level rather than focusing on individual blocks. Easily toggle this view from the toolbar to streamline your site-building process, making it faster and more intuitive to design pages using patterns.
\n\n\n\n
Media improvements
\n\n\n\n
Now supporting HEIC image uploads–automatically converted to JPEG for maximum compatibility–you can add high-quality images without worrying about browser support. Plus, enjoy auto-sizing for lazy-loaded images and expanded background image options at both individual and global levels, giving you greater control over your site’s visuals and performance.
\n\n\n\n
Expanding Block Supports
\n\n\n\n
Several blocks now come with expanded support options, enabling even more design possibilities. Notably, the long-requested shadow support for Group blocks has been added, a big win for designers and theme developers!
\n\n\n\n
Preview Options API
\n\n\n\n
The latest WordPress release enhances the Preview Options in the block editor, empowering developers to customize content previews. A new API allows plugins and themes to add custom items to the preview dropdown menu, enabling users to see content in different formats or environments. This flexibility enriches the editing experience while maintaining the existing familiar Preview dropdown structure.
\n\n\n\n
Refined Data Views
\n\n\n\n
The Data Views introduced in 6.5 continue to be improved. This release is focused on refining the experience with a few new features aimed at making these views more flexible for customization and more functional to use.
\n\n\n\n
Manage Block Bindings Directly
\n\n\n\n
Updates to this API in 6.7 polish and open most of the underlying APIs, improving the overall user experience, and add a user interface (UI) that allows you to connect attributes with custom fields to their binding sources. This new UI makes it possible to create bindings directly in a block instead of needing to use the Code Editor. By default admin and editor users can create and modify bindings, but this can be overridden with `block_editor_settings_all or map_meta_cap` filters.
\n\n\n\n
Simplified and Smarter Query Loop Block
\n\n\n\n
The Query Loop block is improved, as it now automatically inherits the query from the template by default, eliminating the need for manual configuration. This means your posts display immediately in both the editor and on the front end, streamlining the process so users can focus on content without extra configuration needed.
\n\n\n\n
Edit and Control Font Size Presets
\n\n\n\n
An enhanced Styles interface allows for greater flexibility when creating, editing, removing, and applying font size presets. You can now easily modify the presets provided by a theme or create your own custom options. A key feature is the ability to toggle fluid typography, which enables responsive font scaling with additional options for finer control over responsiveness.
\n\n\n\n
View Meta Boxes in the iframed Post Editor
\n\n\n\n
A new split view option has been introduced that allows you to access both the editor canvas and metaboxes while editing. This change will provide a consistent WYSIWYG experience between the editor and front end views.
\n\n\n\n
Template Registration API
\n\n\n\n
With this release, developers can now more easily register custom block templates without complex filters. Streamline your development process and create custom templates with ease.
\n\n\n\n
The features included in this first beta may change before the final release of WordPress 6.7, based on what testers like you find.

I’ve heard from WP Engine customers that they are frustrated that WP Engine hasn’t been able to make updates, plugin directory, theme directory, and Openverse work on their sites. It saddens me that they’ve been negatively impacted by Silver Lake‘s commercial decisions.
\n\n\n\n
On WP Engine’s homepage, they promise “Unmatched performance, automated updates, and bulletproof security ensure your sites thrive.”
\n\n\n\n
WP Engine was well aware that we could remove access when they chose to ignore our efforts to resolve our differences and enter into a commercial licensing agreement. Heather Brunner, Lee Wittlinger, and their Board chose to take this risk. WPE was also aware that they were placing this risk directly on WPE customers. You could assume that WPE has a workaround ready, or they were simply reckless in supporting their customers. Silver Lake and WP Engine put their customers at risk, not me.

We have lifted the blocks of their servers from accessing ours, until October 1, UTC 00:00. Hopefully this helps them spin up their mirrors of all of WordPress.org’s resources that they were using for free while not paying, and making legal threats against us.

What I will tell you is that, pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources.
\n\n\n\n
WP Engine wants to control your WordPress experience, they need to run their own user login system, update servers, plugin directory, theme directory, pattern directory, block directory, translations, photo directory, job board, meetups, conferences, bug tracker, forums, Slack, Ping-o-matic, and showcase. Their servers can no longer access our servers for free.
\n\n\n\n
The reason WordPress sites don’t get hacked as much anymore is we work with hosts to block vulnerabilities at the network layer, WP Engine will need to replicate that security research on their own.
\n\n\n\n
Why should WordPress.org provide these services to WP Engine for free, given their attacks on us?
\n\n\n\n
WP Engine is free to offer their hacked up, bastardized simulacra of WordPress’s GPL code to their customers, and they can experience WordPress as WP Engine envisions it, with them getting all of the profits and providing all of the services.
\n\n\n\n
If you want to experience WordPress, use any other host in the world besides WP Engine. WP Engine is not WordPress.

I spoke yesterday at WordCamp about how Lee Wittlinger at Silver Lake, a private equity firm with $102B assets under management, can hollow out an open source community. (To summarize, they do about half a billion in revenue on top of WordPress and contribute back 40 hours a week, Automattic is a similar size and contributes back 3,915 hours a week.) Today, I would like to offer a specific, technical example of how they break the trust and sanctity of our software’s promise to users to save themselves money so they can extract more profits from you.
\n\n\n\n
WordPress is a content management system, and the content is sacred. Every change you make to every page, every post, is tracked in a revision system, just like the Wikipedia. This means if you make a mistake, you can always undo it. It also means if you’re trying to figure out why something is on a page, you can see precisely the history and edits that led to it. These revisions are stored in our database.
\n\n\n\n
This is very important, it’s at the core of the user promise of protecting your data, and it’s why WordPress is architected and designed to never lose anything.
\n\n\n\n
WP Engine turns this off. They disable revisions because it costs them more money to store the history of the changes in the database, and they don’t want to spend that to protect your content. It strikes to the very heart of what WordPress does, and they shatter it, the integrity of your content. If you make a mistake, you have no way to get your content back, breaking the core promise of what WordPress does, which is manage and protect your content.
\n\n\n\n
Here is a screenshot of their support page saying they disable this across their 1.5 million WordPress installs.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
They say it’s slowing down your site, but what they mean is they want to avoid paying to store that data. We tested revisions on all of the recommended hosts on WordPress.org, and none disabled revisions by default. Why is WP Engine the only one that does? They are strip-mining the WordPress ecosystem, giving our users a crappier experience so they can make more money.
\n\n\n\n
What WP Engine gives you is not WordPress, it’s something that they’ve chopped up, hacked, butchered to look like WordPress, but actually they’re giving you a cheap knock-off and charging you more for it.
\n\n\n\n
This is one of the many reasons they are a cancer to WordPress, and it’s important to remember that unchecked, cancer will spread. WP Engine is setting a poor standard that others may look at and think is ok to replicate. We must set a higher standard to ensure WordPress is here for the next 100 years.
\n\n\n\n
If you are a customer of “WordPress Engine,” you should contact their support immediately to at least get the 3 revisions they allow turned on so you don’t accidentally lose something important. Ideally, they should go to unlimited. Remember that you, the customer, hold the power; they are nothing without the money you give them. And as you vote with your dollars, consider literally any other WordPress host as WP Engine is the only one we’ve found that completely disables revisions by default.

WordCamp US (WCUS), North America’s largest WordPress event, hosted over 1,500 attendees from around the world at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, from September 17 to 20.
\n\n\n\n
Over four days, WordPress professionals and enthusiasts came together to explore the latest advancements and use cases, collaborate on open source projects, and strengthen community connections.
Contributor Day brought together over 400 contributors across 25 teams to support the WordPress project. As with any Contributor Day, participants learned and collaborated while tackling key projects, including triaging issues, exploring performance improvements, advancing the Twenty Twenty-Five theme, and preparing for the upcoming WordPress 6.7 release.

Celebrating WordPress
\n\n\n\n
At WCUS 2024, the inaugural Showcase Day highlighted how enterprises like Disney Experiences, The New York Post, CNN, Vox Media, and Amnesty International are leveraging WordPress across a variety of industries. With 19 sessions, attendees gained diverse insights into WordPress’s wide-ranging capabilities and features.

Sustaining WordPress
\n\n\n\nKeynote presenter Joseph Jacks shares thoughts on the future of OSS.\n\n\n\n
Joseph “JJ” Jacks, founder of OSS Capital, kicked off the first day of programming with a keynote about how open source will dominate the next wave of software. In looking at emerging trends in tech, he expressed how closed core, or closed source, software is hitting a plateau. Commercial open source companies are able to disrupt and forge the path for a shift in the space.
\n\n\n\n
Sharing his optimism for the future, JJ highlighted emerging projects OSS Capital is excited about and emphasized that the most successful open source companies thrive by generating more value than they capture.
\n\n\n\n
Learn WordPress
\n\n\n\n
The second half of the conference featured more than 20 sessions and workshops across three tracks. Topics ranged from leveraging AI in WordPress to getting the most out of wp-admin.
\n\n\n\n
Thursday’s dedicated networking session brought attendees to the sponsor hall to explore and connect with the vast ecosystem of hosts, plugins, agencies, and service providers. The WordCamp US Lounge, located within the exhibit hall, held focused discussions on hosting, neurodiversity, inclusivity, and content marketing.
\nWordCamp attendees stopped by the Code is Poetry lounge to try their hands at the vintage Smith Corona and have a poem written by the Typewriter Troubadour.\n
\n\n\n\n
\nAttendees take a break in the center of the exhibit hall at the “campfire” where various discussions were held throughout the event.\n

Q&A with Cofounder Mullenweg
\n\n\n\n
In a dynamic keynote, WordPress Cofounder Matt Mullenweg delivered one of his “spiciest” WordCamp presentations, combining insights on WordPress’s open source future with a creative twist. He opened by reading his recent post that explores open source philosophy, touching on themes of freedom, collaboration, and the ongoing influence of open source projects like WordPress. Mullenweg also critiqued companies for misleadingly labeling proprietary models as open source, stressing the importance of true open source licenses for the future of software freedom.
\n\n\n\n
Matt further emphasized WordPress’s ecosystem-driven development and highlighted the Five for the Future initiative, an effort to avoid the tragedy of the commons and ensure that WordPress thrives for everyone. His speech addressed community concerns about companies profiting off WordPress without giving back and urged attendees to support companies that contribute to the platform’s growth.
\n\n\n\n
Before diving into the Q&A segment of the presentation, Matt expressed the importance of recognizing:
\n\n\n\n
\n
“What we create together is bigger than any one person.”

Save the Dates
\n\n\n\n
In his closing remarks, emcee Brian Richards expressed gratitude for the fantastic work the event organizers and volunteers contributed to produce WCUS 2024.
\n\n\n\n
Brian reminded attendees to save the date for WordCamp US 2025, which will once again take place in Portland, Oregon, from August 26 to 29, 2025.
\n\n\n\nAttendees gather at WCUS in Portland, Oregon.\n\n\n\n
No WordCamp is complete without an after-party, with this year’s taking place at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI). Attendees concluded a week of WordPress with refreshments while visiting the exhibits—including a submarine and planetarium—and posing in the photo booth.

Join us this week as Josepha takes a personal journey down memory lane to her first encounters with WordPress. In this episode, she shares the story of her very first WordPress website, the excitement of getting involved with WordCamps, and how those early discoveries shaped her rewarding path in the WordPress community. Whether you’re a seasoned user or new to the platform, Josepha’s reflections will inspire you with insights from her earliest days in WordPress.
[00:00:00] Josepha: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.
\n\n\n\n
[00:00:28] (Music intro)
\n\n\n\n
[00:00:39] Josepha: Folks, this week is WordCamp US, and over the past week or so, I spent a fair amount of time talking to people about that first-time experience. And as with any person who’s talking about their version of a shared experience, I started thinking back to mine.
\n\n\n\n
I think my first experience of WordPress was not typical, though. I had never even heard of WordPress when I first went to a WordCamp. I think, I think most of the time people have heard of it before, but I was just there for the plot. So, like many people in my generation, all of us old people of the internet, I was first online with things like Angelfire and GeoCities.
\n\n\n\n
[00:01:16] Josepha: When I went to college, I was keeping friends and family up to date on what I was up to with a little, like, newsletter? And then Xanga made it to our college campus, and eventually, so did Facebook. And I was one of those kids kind of like half-breaking sites with HTML and CSS I found online. I was changing layouts like every week to suit my mood.
\n\n\n\n
Then, when I graduated and found myself in a city with more talent and more competition than I’d actually accounted for, and started to realize that this online stuff I’d been doing for fun might actually be something that I needed to use as a tool professionally. So, I first went out and reserved my screen name everywhere I could think of.
\n\n\n\n
[00:02:01] Josepha: And we’re talking, like, LiveJournal, WordPress.com, Blogger, all the things, and eventually wound up building my first site on Weebly. And it was super ugly. I’m not able to design things. I have an okay sense for a design that is good, but like, left to my own devices, it’s gonna be what that was, which is like a tie dye background for some reason, and had everything organized into little, like, blocks, I guess? You know, like, old magazine layouts? And it technically had everything that I wanted, but it wasn’t necessarily the best version of any of those things either. I could write a little bit about myself and my services, I could add a few photos, there was a way to contact me, and I could do it all by myself.
\n\n\n\n
And so it was a good place to start. Not long after that, though, I graduated into the need for a more professional-looking website, and it was beautiful. I received a website; someone built it for me. It was beautiful; it had this elegant design. Had a lot of custom functionality, but it was built using ColdFusion. I couldn’t do anything to it. I couldn’t change anything. All minor changes just had to kind of wait until there was enough to make sense to use that maintenance time, that maintenance retainer that I had. It really was just kind of formal. It was an isolated snapshot of all of the sorts of information that was required to be on the web at that time.
\n\n\n\n
[00:03:28] Josepha: And then, later that year, I went to my first WordCamp, and I moved my site over to WordPress. And for the first time, I had that kind of mixture of professional expression that was on top of something that enabled my own expression. And honestly, I didn’t learn much more about the software for a few years. It was doing what I needed it to do, how I needed it to be done, and that’s really what mattered to me.
\n\n\n\n
And when I skip a few years ahead after that, a few years later, when I was learning by organizing Meetups and WordCamps that had speakers that I wanted to hear from, that had topics that I felt like I needed to learn more about, what I remember most about that learning period for me is that I knew that I wasn’t the first person to run into any of my problems, which meant that a solution was probably already out there, and I could find someone to come and teach us about their solution.
\n\n\n\n
[00:04:23] Josepha: And also, I knew that if we were running into a new problem and started breaking things left and right, there was always a way back. I was never really too far away from success. Like I felt like I might be lost, but I still was pretty much findable. And I guess I always want that for new users of the open web now, like new members of our WordPress community.
\n\n\n\n
I want them to feel like the breaking of things is fine and safe and that no mistake is irretrievable. I want us to have some place where perfection isn’t the point. Now listen, I know the software is complex right now. The admin is a little mismatched, your first choices are huge choices, and there are a million places to start.
\n\n\n\n
[00:05:03] Josepha: So, all I can say is, start with what you need, and once you’ve got that, like the back of your hand, move on to what you need next. And keep doing that, bravely and messily, until what you’ve got is all you ever wanted. I’m gonna leave for you, in the show notes, a link to something called WordPress Playground.
\n\n\n\n
It’s gonna launch a little WordPress site in your browser. There will be no host. It’s just all in the browser itself. And it will have the latest bundled theme on it, Twenty Twenty-Four, and the latest version of WordPress. And that’s it. Go in there and click around on the left-hand menu. Start a post, change a page, modify the theme.
\n\n\n\n
Just play around a while. See if it’s something that seems fun to you or valuable, or if it’s something that you can use as a time capsule for your kid because that sounds like a nice little mix of fun and work. And remember, sometimes perfection’s not the point.
\n\n\n\n
[00:05:57] (Music interlude)
\n\n\n\n
[00:06:04] Josepha: That brings us now to our small list of big things.
\n\n\n\n
Folks, as I mentioned at the top, WordCamp US is happening this week. It is September 17th through 20th this year, quite a few more days. But that also means that we’ll have quite a bit more stuff to do. If you have your tickets and haven’t looked at all of the presentations occurring over the four-day event, remember to take a look at the schedule and pick out topics that are interesting. And remember, just because you picked it out before you went doesn’t mean that if you get in there and it doesn’t work for you. You can’t choose a different topic while you’re there. And as a bonus, if this is your first WordCamp that you’ve ever attended, I have you covered. You can check out my previous episode on all the things to remember for your first time attending a WordCamp. And we have a pretty active community as well. If you just have questions or want to get in there and say, ‘Hey, I’m going to a vegan restaurant for lunch; who wants to join me?’ You can do that, and you can definitely find somebody.
\n\n\n\n
Also, there are some upcoming WordPress meetings. So, if you’re not attending WordCamp US but still want to connect with the community, there are a ton of team meetings that are happening. You can find those on make.WordPress.org/meetings, I think. So really, really easy URL to remember. You can join your fellow community members and contribute to the WordPress project there.
\n\n\n\n
[00:07:18] Josepha: And I also wanted to just call your attention to a few really big projects that still need a little bit of help around the project. So, on the one hand, we have Data Liberation. That is still a really big project, but specifically, we are nearly ready to start working on some user-facing elements of that. It is being powered by Playground, and because the data liberation, the migration of one site to another, is so complex, once we get those elements built into Playground, I think it also stands to fix a bunch of the problems that we have across our user flow, our user experience for the project. Things like having better theme previews and being able to get a sense for what a plugin functionally will do for you versus what it says it’s going to do for you. And getting a sense for what the admin looks like, all of those things. And so, anyone who wants to learn more about contributing to Playground or to Data Liberation, I absolutely encourage you to go check out those meetings, see what’s happening, and get your hands a bit dirty with that.
\n\n\n\n
[00:08:26] Josepha: We also have a bunch of stuff happening in our community space. If you had received this podcast from somebody because they were like, hey, I know someone who might like WordPress or who has just learned WordPress and has never been to an event or any other reason that you are listening to this but don’t yet know the community, there is an easier option than just jumping straight into a WordCamp like I did. You can go to a meetup. You can see there’s a widget in your dashboard that’ll tell you what your nearest event is, but if you put your location into that widget, and nothing comes up. Technically, that means that you have an opportunity to bring a bunch of people together to teach you stuff you wish you knew about your site right now. So you can wander over into your dashboard and see those, or you can also head over to the community area on make.WordPress.org and anybody over there is happy to help you get started. And let me tell you, it is a very low-effort sort of thing to do. Here again, perfection’s not the point. And so that, my friends, is your small list of big things.
\n\n\n\n
[00:09:28] Josepha: Don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast app or subscribe directly on WordPress.org/news. You’ll get a friendly reminder whenever there is a new episode. If you liked what you heard today, share it with a fellow WordPresser. Or, if you had questions about what you heard, you can share those with me at WPBriefing@WordPress.org. I am your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing, and I’ll see you again in a couple of weeks. Or tomorrow if we’re all going to WordCamp US.

The reception of the new experience and Learning Pathways courses has been positive, with the average learner rating at 4.5/5 since the site’s relaunch. Here’s what learners have been saying:
\n\n\n\n

“The beginner course did a fantastic job of introducing all the key terms I needed to know. It really set me up with a strong foundation to build on in the future…”
“This series of lessons is exactly what I am looking for: it improves my knowledge at an intermediate level, especially for the newer features in the Site Editor.”
“The Beginner WordPress Developer course provided exactly what I needed to return to web design and WordPress after years of web application development.”
The Training team is working hard to add more Learning Pathways to the existing roster, with the Designer and Intermediate Plugin Developer Learning Pathways already in progress. In the meantime, explore the four Learning Pathways at Learn WordPress.

There’s always more to learn.

Discover why WordPress is becoming a cornerstone in student education. In this episode of WordPress Briefing, host Josepha Haden Chomphosy explores the vital role of WordPress in the school curriculum and how it equips students with essential skills for thriving in their future careers.
[00:00:00] Josepha: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I’m your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. Here we go.
\n\n\n\n
[00:00:28] (Music intro)
\n\n\n\n
[00:00:39] Josepha: It’s been a while since I talked to you about the digital divide. In case you’re a brand new listener, check out episode 17, and actually everyone, just go check out episode 17 because bridging the digital divide, teaching people how to embrace technology fully and how to make it work for you, is one of the primary motivators of my decisions in WordPress.
\n\n\n\n
[00:01:02] Josepha: WordPress’s unique position as both a tool that’s ubiquitous in its use and a community that is all-encompassing in its skill set means that if you know a bit about how open source works, you can use it as a tool to learn digital literacy and practice technical skills. Even though this is one of my primary motivators, I have never actually succeeded at getting WordPress into schools.
\n\n\n\n
It’s not for lack of trying, it’s not for lack of interest from the community; it’s more that it’s hard to fit into curriculum-based learning. After all, we’ve had ways to learn WordPress for as long as we’ve had ways to use WordPress. It’s just that it takes a long time to design instructional material, even when you know the content like the back of your hand.
\n\n\n\n
And open source stuff just moves really quickly. However, that didn’t stop us from spending years refining the content that we do have into the learning pathways you can now find on learn.WordPress.org. If you’re an educator, you can use those almost out of the box. But if you’ve got learners in your home and want to make a case for why their school should bring a little WordPress based digital literacy into the classroom, I’ve got five good arguments for you for why they should give us a chance.
\n\n\n\n
[00:02:16] Josepha: The first one, as I mentioned before, WordPress as a tool is practically ubiquitous. It powers a significant portion of the web, so it’s easy to find examples to aspire to and content creators for guidance. And given that it is so prevalent, knowing WordPress ensures that students are well prepared for a wide range of job opportunities in the digital industry, making them more competitive in the job market overall.
\n\n\n\n
Second is that WordPress is a free and open source piece of software. In our case, it’s free in both meanings of the word. Free, as in no cost and no constraints. That means students have freedom to experiment with the code and with the design, which gives you that feeling of joyous experimentation that a lot of us had at the start of the web before there were CMSs. It taps into a different kind of creativity that results in technical curiosity and, ultimately, growth.
\n\n\n\n
[00:03:13] Josepha: The third thing is that the best way to learn WordPress happens to also align with the concept of project-based learning, which is one of the best methods for learning in general. I believe that to be true. I’m not an educator, but I really believe that project-based learning is the best way to learn complex topics. It’s an active way to learn. You get a bunch of tactical skills in there, like development, alongside the basics of good collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Obviously, these are all skills that are directly valuable in the workplace, but I have also found them profoundly useful in my day-to-day existence. You know, as a human participating in a society.
\n\n\n\n
Number four is a bit of a spicy nugget, but WordPress is essential for creating and managing digital content, which is table stakes right now. That’s a foundational skill for most web dev jobs, but also marketing, journalism, and communications. And beyond that, everyone knows that your best leaders are the people who can tell a compelling story based on the information they have. The ones who can connect the dots in a way that makes it matter to you. This is a spicy, of course, because of the confusing do si do that AI is taking with the content landscape. But I believe that people are the best storytellers, and stories are what keep us all moving forward.
\n\n\n\n
[00:04:34] Josepha: And then the final thing is that there is a whole wide world of open source. There are so many products and projects that use an open source license, right? Like you, listener, I can guarantee I don’t even know who you are, but I can guarantee that you use at least one item a day that has some open source thing in it.
\n\n\n\n
And most of these open source projects are international. They’re developed on a global scale across numerous countries by people with various levels of education. And it’s this vastness of scope, this broadness of connection, that will give you, give your student, a chance to understand how to work across cultures, how to build something that is more than the sum of its parts, and how to embrace the concept of altruistic generosity that leads to a triumph of the commons.
\n\n\n\n
[00:05:26] Josepha: Because just as I’m sure that you, a complete stranger, touched something open source today, I’m equally sure that the people we bring into open source will be able to solve the biggest problems of tomorrow with better connections and more skill because of what we taught them here today. If all of this sounds compelling, but you’re not ready to, like, go into your school administrator, your superintendent, your local, I don’t know, education board.
\n\n\n\n
If this felt right, but you don’t know for sure, and you want a little bit more experience with it before you go advocate for it yourself, I will have in the show notes over on WordPress.org, I’ll have in the show notes of this podcast a series of events that are coming up. We have a couple that have already gone by WPCampus, I think just wrapped up a few weeks ago. But there are a handful of events that are happening across the world that is specific to youth wanting to learn technology, working with WordPress to get that done.
\n\n\n\n
[00:06:26] Josepha: And then educators as well. You can also always stop by the Training Team and ask them questions about how this all works, why it works together their philosophies behind their learning pathways. There are so many ways that you can get answers to the questions that you might have about why open source, and especially WordPress, is worth trying to get your students exposed to and working in and contributing to.
\n\n\n\n
[00:06:52] (Music interlude)
\n\n\n\n
[00:06:59] Josepha: That brings me, now that I have finished with my little soapbox, to our small list of big things. Gosh, I hope you all missed hearing teeny tiny rants about WordPress and open source from me over the break that I took in August, but before you respond to that, feel free to respond to me in any comments. Let’s first get to the small list of big things.
\n\n\n\n
[00:07:23] Josepha: First up, the full WordCamp US schedule has been released, so if you’re planning to attend that, you can take a look and get your schedule, your personal schedule, for the week figured out. But if you’re still on the fence, there might be a speaker or two in there that tips the scales for you.
\n\n\n\n
The next thing is that the WordPress Contributor Mentorship Program Cohort number three, the third one, will happen in Q4 this year. The call for mentors and mentees has just been completed. But you should keep an eye out on September 9th, I think. So, at the end of this week, the final list will be announced. This program has been excellent for mentors to give back to the community while enhancing their leadership skills. And the mentees who participate have received personalized guidance and a chance to develop skills and network within the community, and a good portion of them continue to contribute to WordPress itself and other open source projects that we rely on as well.
\n\n\n\n
[00:08:20] Josepha: The third thing is that YouTube has been an essential platform for sharing complex ideas with a diverse audience. And our WordPress YouTube channel is no exception. It has been slowly warming itself up. We have a team that’s warming up the content over there. WordCamp information gets on it now. But in keeping with our commitment to meeting the needs of both current and future users, just making sure that we meet people where they are, I’m excited to announce that Jamie Marsland will be taking on the management of the WordPress YouTube channel. So for anyone who’s attending WordCamp US, stop by and say hello to Jamie in person.
\n\n\n\n
And then, finally, I have a really important call to action. So, we are still working to reactivate our meetup groups. The Community Team is driving that charge, and they need your help to reactivate any group that’s inactive. Last month, a list of groups was shared and marked for removal from our chapter program. And we requested responses by August 5th to keep those groups active, but due to the summer holiday, we have extended it a little bit. We’ve extended it to September 16th, which, if I am remembering my calendar correctly, is a couple weeks from now. So if your group is on that pending closure list, email support@wordcamp.org to let us know if you want to reactivate the group or if you are ready to step down and have a new leader show up, and we can help you figure out how to get that done. Either way, if you’re on the list, email us let us know what your hopes and, dreams, and plans are there.
\n\n\n\n
[00:09:58] Josepha: That, my friends, is your small list of big things. Don’t forget to follow us on your favorite podcast app or subscribe directly on WordPress.org/news. You’ll get a friendly reminder whenever there’s a new episode. If you liked what you heard today, share it with a fellow WordPresser or future WordPresser. But if you have any questions about what you heard, then you can share those with me at WPbriefing@WordPress.org. I am your host, Josepha Haden Chomphosy. I’m so glad to be back. Thank you for tuning in today for the WordPress Briefing, and I’ll see you again in a couple of weeks.

DR DIEGO
\n\n\n\n
\"a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original\" The Clarinet [Online]
DR DIEGO bursts into bloom from the seeds of classic deep house, disco, chiptunes, and baroque organ music.
Diego Vásquez’s bass clarinet and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s vintage handheld synthesizers swoop and spin and soar like reflections from a mirror ball until they metamorphose into a pulsating processional that pulls us out the door and into the vibrant sunshine.
Diego Vásquez is a clarinetist-dancer who approaches all his music making from a deep connection with the body.
Diego is Principal Clarinet of Berkshire Opera Festival (MA) and Norwalk Symphony (CT), and performs regularly with regional orchestras in New England.
Diego attended the Lucerne Festival Academy (CH) as a clarinetist in 2016 and as a dancer-mime soloist in 2017-18 for Stockhausen\'s INORI. In 2019, he performed Stockhausen\'s UVERSA [basset-horn, electronics] at Zelyonka Space Up, Ukraine’s largest modern dance festival.

We are Melissa Grey & David Morneau.\r\nWe were l\'Artiste ordinaire.\r\nNow, we are Flower Cat.
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composer-producers who design music informed by elemental themes: time, space, nature, language, dance.
They joined forces in 2016, establishing a “wholly original” and “inventive” practice. Their work has received the following acclaim: “production is masterfully realized and consistently creative,” “beautiful and transcendent,” “hypnotic allure,” “a masterclass on how to utilize space,” “a masterpiece,” “a completely unique sonic world,” and “shows technical mastery… exudes fun… imaginative.”
Grey & Morneau recently released Always Becoming (2023), a collaborative composition with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, they designed a soundscape for the exhibition space for The Empty S(h)elf, a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence – Space in Montreal. Grey & Morneau were awarded the 2018 Joan C. Edwards Distinguished Professors of the Arts, College of Arts and Media, School of Music, Marshall University in West Virginia, and were the subjects of the documentary Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares. Other commissions include: Photon Ecstasy (2016), with artist Dan Rose, featured at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia, PA, and mem mer mère (2019) with cellist Kate Dillingham at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland.
In addition to their production and composition practice, Grey & Morneau, since 2014, have jointly curated and produced numerous concert events, including Soft Series, a concert series dedicated to presenting soft premieres and introducing new audiences to new music. This series was live-streamed from Clocktower Radio (“one of the first all-art online museum radio stations in the world”).

Melissa Grey & David Morneau launched their collaboration in 2016. They create sound in performance, crafting moments of sonic ecstasy before exploding them into a trillion sparkling shards of shimmering sounds that swirl in a paradox of energized stasis. Together they are developing an inscrutable and immersive creative process, which includes ancient and algorithmic sound practices. They embrace uncertainty, using structured improvisations, constrained processes, and found poetry to compose for an unknown future. They design projects that expand in endless variation to collaborate with musicians, video artists, designers, and creative technologists with Greyʼs benjolin synthesizer and Morneauʼs trombone at the center. Grey & Morneau are based in Manhattan.

We livestreamed this performance of Bourdon 50Hz for Basilica Hudson\'s 24-HOUR DRONE AT HOME. Sunday, April 26, 2020. 5:30am
Our livestream raised money for Arts Holding Hands And Hearts (AHHAH). They provide literacy, arts, and movement programs for very young children in vulnerable communities. During these moments of isolation and distancing, AHHAH is adapting to deliver programs online.
All proceeds from sales of Bourdon 50Hz [nº38] go to AHHAH.
\n\n\n\n
Bourdon is a sound meditation tuned to a utility frequency. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.

History repeats: l’Artiste ordinaire returns to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

We livestreamed this performance of Bourdon 50Hz for Basilica Hudson\'s 24-HOUR DRONE AT HOME. Sunday, April 26, 2020. 5:30am
Our livestream raised money for Arts Holding Hands And Hearts (AHHAH). They provide literacy, arts, and movement programs for very young children in vulnerable communities. During these moments of isolation and distancing, AHHAH is adapting to deliver programs online.
All proceeds from sales of Bourdon 50Hz [nº38] go to AHHAH.
\n\n\n\n
Bourdon is a sound meditation tuned to a utility frequency. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.

History repeats: l’Artiste ordinaire returns to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

Symbolic Gesture is electro-baroque refracted through the elemental eurhythmy of foundational beat patterns, with benjolin synthesizer, trombone, violins, chiptune, voices, and hyperlocal field recordings.
Symbolic Gesture is a sonic response to Dan Rose\'s False Heads, Masks, and Robots (an exhibition produced by Melissa Grey & David Morneau at The Arches, a home designed by the architect William Lightfoot Price, October 2—November 16, 2020).

Melissa Grey & David Morneau launched their collaboration in 2016. They create sound in performance, crafting moments of sonic ecstasy before exploding them into a trillion sparkling shards of shimmering sounds that swirl in a paradox of energized stasis.

History repeats: l’Artiste ordinaire returns to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

mem mer mère, a 20-minute live performance for cello, electronics, spoken word and video projection, is a sonic portrait of the world ocean. Melissa Grey & David Morneau perform a roll call reading of dead zones—hypoxic coastal regions of the ocean that are the direct result of human pollution. Kate Dillingham’s cello creates a giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises until it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Their sounds swim among stochastic ripples and undulations that are inevitably pulled by the tides and currents underneath. mem mer mère portrays the ocean as simultaneously majestic and wounded.
Our dependence on the ocean as source and sustainer of life is woven through all human culture in our shared reverence of water. Water goddesses are associated with fertility. The fountain of youth was the impetus for exploration. Immersion in water is a symbol of spiritual birth, a ritual metaphor for birth as the emergence from the amniotic ocean of the womb. Even our Western alphabet contains a reminder of the sea: the letter ‘m’ comes to us from the ancient Phonecian alphabet. The original glyph was drawn to associate its sound with the word mem in which it appeared. Mem was their word for water. ‘M’ is a drawing of ocean waves.
Human pollution adds significant levels of nitrogen and phosphorus to coastal waters. These are the combined results of agricultural and industrial runoff, insufficiently treated waste-water, and acid rain that pulls pollutants out of the air. The mass accumulation of these nutrients in the water—called eutrophication—can result in diminished levels of dissolved oxygen. Water becomes hypoxic, creating dead zones. Some of these zones last only a few days each year when the water warms, others persist for many months.
Dead zones disrupt the migration and spawning of fish, result in mass mortality of sea creatures, and cost countless of millions of dollars in lost fishing and tourism income. Each decade since the 1960s has seen a doubling of the number of dead zones in the world’s waters. Research by Dr. Robert Diaz (Professor Emeritus, Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and Dr. Rutger Rosenberg (Professor, Department of Marine Ecology, University of Gothenburg) has compiled a list of known dead zones.

Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

About Culobocca
Culobocca is a nod to the alpha and omega of the body, and our navel-gazing tendency as a species to consider ourselves as universal be-all and end-all. Originating as a line drawing of an object that passes through itself while chasing its tail, Culobocca is an ever-expanding family of forms whose surfaces are simultaneously interior and exterior, entropy and emergence. The sketch evolved from an inkling into a map for living by asking the question – how might thinking and making be mutually replenishing rather than self-diluting and exhausting? Kindred forms and formats soon followed. Animated by a range of materials, uses, and methods of production, Culobocca variations have been informed by 3D printing, two- and three-part casting in porcelain and silicon, color and light, digital animation, origami with paper and felt, and live performance. Being open-ended rather than self-contained, Culobocca invite imaginative recombinations and are akin to, yet distinct from, such enigmatic creatures as the Möbius Strip or Klein bottle. Culobocca’s closest living relatives are black holes, quasars, and the oroboro, that obsessive beast everchasing its tail, although it may be more accurate to say that Culobocca’s mouth comes out of its tail rather than around it.

New Release: Biophonic Beats by Melissa Grey & David Morneau
\n\n\n\n
Composed and performed by Melissa Grey & David Morneau, Biophonic Beats is a structured improvisation for benjolin synthesizer and trombone.
Biophonic Beats was recorded live on June 25, 2018, at Flower Cat HQ in New York City for Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B (a music-documentary series that shows independent musicians performing live in unexpected places.) Ao Vivo no Casarão was conceived by Cristina Müller, Giuliano Rossi and Yuri Tavares.

History repeats: l’Artiste ordinaire returns to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

DR DIEGO bursts into bloom from the seeds of classic deep house, disco, chiptunes, and baroque organ music.
Diego Vásquez’s bass clarinet and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s vintage handheld synthesizers swoop and spin and soar like reflections from a mirror ball until they metamorphose into a pulsating processional that pulls us out the door and into the vibrant sunshine.
Diego Vásquez is a clarinetist-dancer who approaches all his music making from a deep connection with the body.
Diego is Principal Clarinet of Berkshire Opera Festival (MA) and Norwalk Symphony (CT), and performs regularly with regional orchestras in New England.
Diego attended the Lucerne Festival Academy (CH) as a clarinetist in 2016 and as a dancer-mime soloist in 2017-18 for Stockhausen\'s INORI. In 2019, he performed Stockhausen\'s UVERSA [basset-horn, electronics] at Zelyonka Space Up, Ukraine’s largest modern dance festival.

Embracing a broader view of music as an activity rather than an object, Collective Sounding will be a 30-minute program of group sound-making and gentle, synchronized movement. We have designed the program to be suitable for a group of any size, with no prior music experience necessary. The sound making will include vocalizations (speaking, soft humming) and the movements will be non-aerobic and adaptable by participants to their own abilities. As we guide participants through the experience, we will support their soundings with electronically generated tones that enhance synchronization and create sonic magic.
Our research and development process includes sound studies, musicology, biomusicology, anthropology, biology, psychology, and neuroscience. The sonic materials will be tuned to the utility hum found in our built environment. The tempo of program activities will align with the physiological paces of human ambulation and respiration. The experience of sounding and moving together will develop and enhance group-cohesion by tapping into deeply evolved neurological rewards (including endorphin release and self-other merging).
Tansy Xiao is an artist, curator and writer based in New York. Xiao creates theatrical installations with non-linear narratives that often extend beyond the fourth wall. Her work examines the power and inadequacy of language, furthermore, substantiates the multiplicity of being human through the assemblage of stochastic audio and recontextualized objects.
Xiao’s work has been shown at Queens Museum, The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural & Educational Center, New Adventures in Sound Art, Pelham Art Center, The Immigrant Artist Biennial, Azarian McCullough Art Gallery, SRO Gallery among others. Her curatorial projects were presented by SPRING/BREAK Art Show, NARS Foundation, Radiator Gallery, Residency Unlimited, Fou Gallery, Chazan Family Gallery, Areté Gallery and Brooklyn Art Library.
Culobocca is a nod to the alpha and omega of the body, and our navel-gazing tendency as a species to consider ourselves as universal be-all and end-all. Originating as a line drawing of an object that passes through itself while chasing its tail, Culobocca is an ever-expanding family of forms whose surfaces are simultaneously interior and exterior, entropy and emergence. The sketch evolved from an inkling into a map for living by asking the question – how might thinking and making be mutually replenishing rather than self-diluting and exhausting? Kindred forms and formats soon followed. Animated by a range of materials, uses, and methods of production, Culobocca variations have been informed by 3D printing, two- and three-part casting in porcelain and silicon, color and light, digital animation, origami with paper and felt, and live performance. Being open-ended rather than self-contained, Culobocca invite imaginative recombinations and are akin to, yet distinct from, such enigmatic creatures as the Möbius Strip or Klein bottle. Culobocca’s closest living relatives are black holes, quasars, and the oroboro, that obsessive beast everchasing its tail, although it may be more accurate to say that Culobocca’s mouth comes out of its tail rather than around it.

mem mer mère, a 20-minute live performance for cello, electronics, spoken word and video projection, is a sonic portrait of the world ocean. Melissa Grey & David Morneau perform a roll call reading of dead zones—hypoxic coastal regions of the ocean that are the direct result of human pollution. Kate Dillingham’s cello creates a giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises until it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Their sounds swim among stochastic ripples and undulations that are inevitably pulled by the tides and currents underneath. mem mer mère portrays the ocean as simultaneously majestic and wounded.
Our dependence on the ocean as source and sustainer of life is woven through all human culture in our shared reverence of water. Water goddesses are associated with fertility. The fountain of youth was the impetus for exploration. Immersion in water is a symbol of spiritual birth, a ritual metaphor for birth as the emergence from the amniotic ocean of the womb. Even our Western alphabet contains a reminder of the sea: the letter ‘m’ comes to us from the ancient Phonecian alphabet. The original glyph was drawn to associate its sound with the word mem in which it appeared. Mem was their word for water. ‘M’ is a drawing of ocean waves.
Human pollution adds significant levels of nitrogen and phosphorus to coastal waters. These are the combined results of agricultural and industrial runoff, insufficiently treated waste-water, and acid rain that pulls pollutants out of the air. The mass accumulation of these nutrients in the water—called eutrophication—can result in diminished levels of dissolved oxygen. Water becomes hypoxic, creating dead zones. Some of these zones last only a few days each year when the water warms, others persist for many months.
Dead zones disrupt the migration and spawning of fish, result in mass mortality of sea creatures, and cost countless of millions of dollars in lost fishing and tourism income. Each decade since the 1960s has seen a doubling of the number of dead zones in the world’s waters. Research by Dr. Robert Diaz (Professor Emeritus, Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and Dr. Rutger Rosenberg (Professor, Department of Marine Ecology, University of Gothenburg) has compiled a list of known dead zones.

mem mer mère, a 20-minute live performance for cello, electronics, and spoken word, is a sonic portrait of the world ocean. Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s perform a roll call reading of dead zones—hypoxic coastal regions of the ocean that are the direct result of human pollution. Kate Dillingham’s cello creates a giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises until it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Their sounds swim among stochastic ripples and undulations that are inevitably pulled by the tides and currents underneath. mem mer mère portrays the ocean as simultaneously majestic and wounded.
Human pollution adds significant levels of nitrogen and phosphorus to coastal waters. These are the combined results of agricultural and industrial runoff, insufficiently treated waste-water, and acid rain that pulls pollutants out of the air. The mass accumulation of these nutrients in the water—called eutrophication—can result in diminished levels of dissolved oxygen. Water becomes hypoxic, creating dead zones. Some of these zones last only a few days each year when the water warms, others persist for many months.
Dead zones disrupt the migration and spawning of fish, result in mass mortality of sea creatures, and cost countless of millions of dollars in lost fishing and tourism income. Each decade since the 1960s has seen a doubling of the number of dead zones in the world’s waters. Research by Dr. Robert Diaz (Professor Emeritus, Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and Dr. Rutger Rosenberg (Professor, Department of Marine Ecology, University of Gothenburg) has compiled a list of known dead zones.
mem mer mère will be released as a recording on April 22, 2023, (Earth Day). This is the third release in a series of EPs produced by Melissa Grey & David Morneau in collaboration with exceptional musicians and artists. Each installment is being developed through an expansive practice that includes ancient and algorithmic sound practices, structured improvisations, and generative processes.

Our dependence on the ocean as source and sustainer of life is woven through all human culture in our shared reverence of water. Water goddesses are associated with fertility. The fountain of youth was the impetus for exploration. Immersion in water is a symbol of spiritual birth, a ritual metaphor for birth as the emergence from the amniotic ocean of the womb. Even our Western alphabet contains a reminder of the sea: the letter ‘m’ comes to us from the ancient Phonecian alphabet. The original glyph was drawn to associate its sound with the word mem in which it appeared. Mem was their word for water. ‘M’ is a drawing of ocean waves.

Dan Rose
\n\n\n\n
Dan Rose was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1940. In 1973, he received a PhD in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dan’s dissertation was supported by the University of Pennsylvania Center for Urban Ethnography and resulted in a book entitled Black American Street Life: South Philadelphia: 1969-1971, a narrative of public life in an American city in the years just after Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Rose joined the faculty of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in 1974. In addition to his teaching, he consulted to State Farm Mutual Insurance Companies, re-designed automobiles, and began developing artist books.
In the 1990s, he created well over a hundred one-of-a-kind artist books distributed by ICA and Serpentine Galleries in the UK and Printed Matter in New York City. In 2016 his entire artist book archive was gifted to the Kislak Center for Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania at the completion of his solo show there, Arbitrary Pleasures.
In 2009 Rose began experimenting in his studio with how people visualize in two and three dimensional distorted visual fields.

Dan Rose
\n\n\n\n
Dan Rose was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, in 1940. In 1973, he received a PhD in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dan’s dissertation was supported by the University of Pennsylvania Center for Urban Ethnography and resulted in a book entitled Black American Street Life: South Philadelphia: 1969-1971, a narrative of public life in an American city in the years just after Martin Luther King’s assassination.
Rose joined the faculty of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania in 1974. In addition to his teaching, he consulted to State Farm Mutual Insurance Companies, re-designed automobiles, and began developing artist books.
In the 1990s, he created well over a hundred one-of-a-kind artist books distributed by ICA and Serpentine Galleries in the UK and Printed Matter in New York City. In 2016 his entire artist book archive was gifted to the Kislak Center for Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania at the completion of his solo show there, Arbitrary Pleasures.
In 2009 Rose began experimenting in his studio with how people visualize in two and three dimensional distorted visual fields. He has used pictures, primarily of the faces of fashion models, celebrities, and political figures. In collaboration with r3c3, he furthered experimentation in making 3D pictures from her 2D photographs utilizing the images that she took. They frequently exhibited their work in Philadelphia.

Culobocca is a nod to the alpha and omega of the body, and our navel-gazing tendency as a species to consider ourselves as universal be-all and end-all. Originating as a line drawing of an object that passes through itself while chasing its tail, Culobocca is an ever-expanding family of forms whose surfaces are simultaneously interior and exterior, entropy and emergence. The sketch evolved from an inkling into a map for living by asking the question – how might thinking and making be mutually replenishing rather than self-diluting and exhausting? Kindred forms and formats soon followed. Animated by a range of materials, uses, and methods of production, Culobocca variations have been informed by 3D printing, two- and three-part casting in porcelain and silicon, color and light, digital animation, origami with paper and felt, and live performance. Being open-ended rather than self-contained, Culobocca invite imaginative recombinations and are akin to, yet distinct from, such enigmatic creatures as the Möbius Strip or Klein bottle. Culobocca’s closest living relatives are black holes, quasars, and the oroboro, that obsessive beast everchasing its tail, although it may be more accurate to say that Culobocca’s mouth comes out of its tail rather than around it.

Recorded in August, 2023, at the former Buffalo State Hospital in New York, A door emerges highlights the resonant frequencies of room 114 in Female Ward H. This 23’ x 37’ room, with large broken windows and layers of peeling yellow paint, is a parlor space where patients would gather communally.
A door emerges is part of ‘Sound the Asylum’, which catalogs the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. Our ambisonic recording process uses only natural sounds in and around the asylum—including summer insects and wind blowing a door closed in a distant room—to reveal resonant frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life in these elegant and massive buildings with disturbing histories.
The innovative and utopian Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Despite promising origins, their demise symbolizes the decay of the American mental health care system. Described as “America’s castles,” 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 30 or so of these hospitals remain standing today.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composers exploring the nature of sound and the nuance of human perception. Their immersive productions reveal mesmerizing worlds of endlessly evolving sound.
In March 2023, Grey & Morneau released ‘Always Becoming’—a sparkling tapestry of harp-like guitars and seductive beats—in collaboration with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, they designed a soundscape of insect field recordings for the exhibition ‘The Empty S(h)elf’—a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence (Montreal, Canada).
Their previous productions include ‘Dr Diego’—a chiptune disco for bass clarinet (2022), ‘Biophonic Beats’ —a structured improvisation for trombone and benjolin synthesizer (2021), ‘Symbolic Gesture’—electro-baroque and elemental beat patterns (2020), ‘Bourdon’—a drone meditation tuned to a utility frequency (2020), and ‘mem mer mère’—oceanic layers of cello, trombone, and live sound processing, which premiered at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland (2019).
In 2018, Grey & Morneau were the featured subjects of the music documentary series ‘Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B’ by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares.

Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

“…\'rich\' or \'textured\' would be accurate summations but using just those words would undersell just how many layers and sounds there are to get lost in and just how much ear candy there is to appreciate.…I cannot say enough about the kind of journey you will go on while listening to the songs from Always Becoming.…It is quite amazing how these three talented artists have come together to make such a profound collection of songs–a true can’t-miss album.” —Which Coast

Melissa Grey & David Morneau launched their collaboration in 2016. They create sound in performance, crafting moments of sonic ecstasy before exploding them into a trillion sparkling shards of shimmering sounds that swirl in a paradox of energized stasis. Together they are developing an inscrutable and immersive creative process, which includes ancient and algorithmic sound practices. They embrace uncertainty, using structured improvisations, constrained processes, and found poetry to compose for an unknown future. They design projects that expand in endless variation to collaborate with musicians, video artists, designers, and creative technologists with Greyʼs benjolin synthesizer and Morneauʼs trombone at the center.

DR DIEGO bursts into bloom from the seeds of classic deep house, disco, chiptunes, and baroque organ music.
Diego Vásquez’s bass clarinet and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s vintage handheld synthesizers swoop and spin and soar like reflections from a mirror ball until they metamorphose into a pulsating processional that pulls us out the door and into the vibrant sunshine.
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composers whose process includes ancient and algorithmic sound practices, structured improvisations, and generative processes.

History repeats: Melissa Grey & David Morneau return to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

Bourdon 50Hz [nº38] Melissa Grey & David Morneau, Robert Kirkbride

Flower Cat (FC006) April 26, 2020
\n\n\n\n
We livestreamed this performance of Bourdon 50Hz for Basilica Hudson\'s 24-HOUR DRONE AT HOME. Sunday, April 26, 2020. 5:30am.
Bourdon is a sound meditation tuned to a utility frequency. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency. ... Our livestream raises money for Arts Holding Hands And Hearts (AHHAH). They provide literacy, arts, and movement programs for very young children in vulnerable communities. During these moments of isolation and distancing, AHHAH is adapting to deliver programs online.
All proceeds from sales of Bourdon 50Hz [nº38] go to AHHAH.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

Always Becoming weaves the colors of Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitar with Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s sparkling production to wrap the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues. Drawing on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles, the meticulously crafted textures illuminate soaring melodies and are designed to play in an endless loop.
Always Becoming is a cycle of nine hand drawings that complement the recursive music. Each drawing is between 8 and 9 inches in diameter and comprises the repetitive gestures of hatching, stippling, squiggling, or circling.

Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

Symbolic Gesture is electro-baroque refracted through the elemental eurhythmy of foundational beat patterns, with benjolin synthesizer, trombone, violins, chiptune, voices, and hyperlocal field recordings.
Symbolic Gesture is a sonic response to Dan Rose\'s False Heads, Masks, and Robots (an exhibition produced by Melissa Grey & David Morneau at The Arches, a home designed by the architect William Lightfoot Price, October 2—November 16, 2020).
We livestreamed this performance of Bourdon 50Hz for Basilica Hudson\'s 24-HOUR DRONE AT HOME. Sunday, April 26, 2020. 5:30am
Our livestream raised money for Arts Holding Hands And Hearts (AHHAH). They provide literacy, arts, and movement programs for very young children in vulnerable communities. During these moments of isolation and distancing, AHHAH is adapting to deliver programs online.
All proceeds from sales of Bourdon 50Hz [nº38] go to AHHAH.
\n\n\n\n
Bourdon is a sound meditation tuned to a utility frequency. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.

History repeats: Melissa Grey & David Morneau return to the expansive universe of Photon Ecstasy to survey for slippery drones, sparkling beats, and hallucinatory, shifting textures. Like the light from distant stars, these sounds arrive from the past, focused by the lens of the duo\'s inscrutable and immersive creative process.
This process is the sound of PETITE ecstasy. The gravitational force generated by the combination of Grey’s benjolin synthesizer and Morneau’s trombone pull together programmed beats, Game Boy chimes, a recitation by Dan Rose, and the palatial voice of mezzo-soprano Jessica Bowers.
PETITE ecstasy is born from the nebula left behind by Photon Ecstasy.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

Robert Kirkbride is a designer, musician, author and professor who explores the interplay of memory, ornament and placemaking.
Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composer-producers who design music informed by elemental themes: time, space, nature, language, dance.
“wholly original” and “inventive” practice that has produced nine releases, which have received the following acclaim: “production is masterfully realized and consistently creative,” “beautiful and transcendent,” “hypnotic allure,” “a masterclass on how to utilize space,” “a masterpiece,” “a completely unique sonic world,” and “shows technical mastery… exudes fun… imaginative.”
Since 2014, they have jointly curated and produced numerous concert events, including Soft Series, a concert series dedicated to presenting soft premieres and introducing new audiences to new music. This series was live-streamed from Clocktower Radio (“one of the first all-art online museum radio stations in the world”). In 2023 they released Always Becoming, a collaborative composition with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments), which will be featured in the 2023 Queens New Music Festival. In 2022, Grey & Morneau designed a soundscape for the exhibition space for The Empty S(h)elf, a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence – Space in Montreal.
In 2018 Grey & Morneau were awarded Joan C. Edwards Distinguished Professors of the Arts, College of Arts and Media, School of Music, Marshall University in West Virginia and were the subjects of the documentary Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares. Other commissions include: Photon Ecstasy, with artist Dan Rose, featured at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia, PA, and mem mer mère (2019) with cellist Kate Dillingham at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composer-producers who design music informed by elemental themes: time, space, nature, language, dance.
“wholly original” and “inventive” practice that has produced nine releases, which have received the following acclaim: “production is masterfully realized and consistently creative,” “beautiful and transcendent,” “hypnotic allure,” “a masterclass on how to utilize space,” “a masterpiece,” “a completely unique sonic world,” and “shows technical mastery… exudes fun… imaginative.”
Since 2014, they have jointly curated and produced numerous concert events, including Soft Series, a concert series dedicated to presenting soft premieres and introducing new audiences to new music. This series was live-streamed from Clocktower Radio (“one of the first all-art online museum radio stations in the world”). In 2023 they released Always Becoming, a collaborative composition with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, Grey & Morneau designed a soundscape for the exhibition space for The Empty S(h)elf, a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence – Space in Montreal.
In 2018 Grey & Morneau were awarded Joan C. Edwards Distinguished Professors of the Arts, College of Arts and Media, School of Music, Marshall University in West Virginia and were the subjects of the documentary Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares. Other commissions include: Photon Ecstasy (2016), with artist Dan Rose, featured at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia, PA, and mem mer mère (2019) with cellist Kate Dillingham at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composer-producers who design music informed by elemental themes: time, space, nature, language, dance.
They joined forces in 2016, establishing a “wholly original” and “inventive” practice. Their work has received the following acclaim: “production is masterfully realized and consistently creative,” “beautiful and transcendent,” “hypnotic allure,” “a masterclass on how to utilize space,” “a masterpiece,” “a completely unique sonic world,” and “shows technical mastery… exudes fun… imaginative.”
Grey & Morneau recently released Always Becoming (2023), a collaborative composition with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, they designed a soundscape for the exhibition space for The Empty S(h)elf, a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence – Space in Montreal. Grey & Morneau were awarded the 2018 Joan C. Edwards Distinguished Professors of the Arts, College of Arts and Media, School of Music, Marshall University in West Virginia, and were the subjects of the documentary Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares. Other commissions include: Photon Ecstasy (2016), with artist Dan Rose, featured at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, Philadelphia, PA, and mem mer mère (2019) with cellist Kate Dillingham at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland.
In addition to their production and composition practice, Grey & Morneau, since 2014, have jointly curated and produced numerous concert events, including Soft Series, a concert series dedicated to presenting soft premieres and introducing new audiences to new music. This series was live-streamed from Clocktower Radio (“one of the first all-art online museum radio stations in the world”).

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
August 9-11 – Recording: Richardson Olmsted Complex (formerly Buffalo State Hospital), Buffalo, New York.
\n\n\n\n
Sound the Asylum, by composer-producers Melissa Grey & David Morneau, is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.

Sound the Asylum
\n\n\n\n
Perception of physical space is informed by all our senses, yet often the character of a place is reduced to visual documentation. Sound the Asylum is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19th century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.
The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.
In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room). As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.

Sound the Asylum
\n\n\n\n
[2023 – ongoing]
\n\n\n\n
Perception of physical space is informed by all our senses, yet often the character of a place is reduced to visual documentation. Sound the Asylum is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19th century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.
The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.
In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room). As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.

Sound the Asylum is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
Our process also captures sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor—immersing the listener in the sonic space with the delicate drone of the resonating frequencies. These phenomena softly imbued the sonic experience of the patients and staff, coloring every sound of daily life in these buildings with complex histories.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. In the 19th century, 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States. Described as “America’s castles,” only 30 or so of these massive hospitals remain standing today.
The Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York, is a 44,594 sq m (480,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital. Designed by architect H.H. Richardson with gardens designed by the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, it opened as the Buffalo State Hospital in 1880; operated for 94 years; closed in 1974; was designated as a National Landmark in 1986; and from 2008 is undergoing a series of adaptive reuse projects.
In August 2023, we recorded resonant frequencies in Male Ward B (corridor, stairwell, barbershop, bed room, dormitory) and in Female Ward C (parlor, corridor, bed room). As this project grows, we will document more unrenovated asylum interiors, including The Ridges—a 65,032 sq m (700,000 sq ft) Kirkbride Plan hospital in Athens, Ohio.

Our talk will include recorded excerpts that demonstrate the buildup of resonant frequencies in different interior locations, including patient rooms, corridors, and stairwells. We will conclude with the full presentation of a 5-minute recording captured in one room. All recordings will be presented binaurally. Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite headphones for immersive listening.

Sensing decay in a constructed environment is a multisensory experience. The stages of decay can be transitory and ever-changing. The sensory complexity of decay may be added to or confused by concurrent processes of remaking, rebuilding, and renewal. The symposium aims to consider how we can isolate and record the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of decay within the continuum of deterioration. In tandem, we seek to recognize how particular sensory aspects of decay may prompt cultural responses and actions – this could include the aestheticization of architectural ruins, for instance. Our senses also provide tools to analyse the presence of decay and its temporal stages, for example, in material heritage conservation. A particular methodological challenge is how we, as sensory analysts across disciplines, can record our own often numerous but fast decaying experiences as avenues to questioning and interpreting the past, such as in experimental archaeology.

Always Becoming weaves the colors of sunshine pop and dreampop with Robert Kirkbride’s harp-like guitars and Melissa Grey & David Morneau’s crystalline orchestration and signature seductive beats, wrapping the listener in a sonic tapestry of ever-shifting patterns, pulses, and hues.
Complementing the music are nine hand drawings and an essay on humanity’s tilted view of seasonal cycles by Kirkbride, whose work explores the interplay of memory, ornament, and placemaking. These four tracks—Being, Always, Ever, Becoming—are designed to play in an endless loop.

[liner notes] Our view of the universe is tilted by approximately 23.5º as a result of the primordial collision of the Earth and the protoplanet Theia 4.5 billion years ago, an encounter that also generated the materials that coalesced into our Moon. We experience the obliquity of our planet’s axis palpably, through the annual cycle of seasons, and this tilt also causes the Earth’s celestial pole to slowly revolve by 1º every 72 years, completing a full 360º rotation among a series of northern and southern “polestars” over a period of 25,772 years by a process known as the Precession of the Equinoxes.
Around 2200 years ago, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus (190-120 BCE) discovered the Precession of the Equinoxes by utilizing the observations that ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomers had gathered during the years 3942 to 1793 BCE, when the northern polestar had been Alpha Draconis. Also known by its Arabic name Thuban, signifying “head of the serpent,” the star occupies the “head” of the constellation Draco, a position that held lasting influence on human affairs. Several dragon-centered myths became anchored to the North Celestial Pole, regardless of the gradual precessional drift toward the next polestar, Polaris, in 500 CE.
In Hipparchus’s own time there was not a true polestar, yet myths of a dragon/Draco-centered north star lingered. One myth recounts the Greek goddess Athena hurling a dragon into the sky during a battle, where it became fixed to Thuban. In another, the goddess Hera places the dragon Ladon in the sky as a gesture of respect after its defeat by Hercules, whose own constellation stands victoriously on the head of the constellation Draco. Although outmoded by Hipparchus’s empirical studies, these myths nonetheless remained fixed in the popular imagination.
Nearly 1800 years later, the protagonist of Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar claimed to be as “constant as the Northern Star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament.” Yet, there was no “true fixed” northern star during Julius Caesar’s reign (49-44 BCE). Is this a mere anachronism, poetic license, or poetic justice, since such a reference to a non-existent polestar would have made the populist Roman Emperor more fickle than constant? What stories will be told of Polaris and Ursa Minoris after 2102 CE, when the precessional drift moves on toward the star Deneb, in the constellation Cygnus (The Swan), in 9800 CE? And thereafter to Vega, in the constellation Lyra, from 12,000 to 13,727 CE? Will anyone be available and aware in 20,346 CE to welcome Thuban and the polar return of the dragon?
The interplay of these terrestrial and cosmic cycles might seem eternal. Barring a cataclysmic event, the Earth may indeed continue to revolve around the Sun every Earth year, and our North Pole may continue circumscribing its path every 25,772 years. Yet, our universe is constantly expanding, and the relative positions of our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy are ever-shifting with respect to each other and every other point in the universe.
Consequently, we never occupy the same point twice in time and space. Even as we take comfort and disquiet in returning to the sensations and memories of seasonal rhythms and phenomena, we hurtle forward, buffeted by the unknowable. Similarly, the stars and dust of constellations are forever drifting, coalescing, colliding and dispersing to gather again elsewhere. Every instant in the universe is simultaneously a return and absolutely unique.

Bourdon 60Hz is a sound meditation performance of sine waves and trombone tuned to 60Hz. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.
mem mer mère transforms eight measures of Debussy’s La Mer into one giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises through the Abyss, the Midnight, the Twilight, and finally the Sunlight as it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Performed by l’Artiste ordinaire with cellist Kate Dillingham and live visualist Marc Fiaux, this music magnifies the formidable eight-measure cello excerpt from La Mer. As Dillingham’s cello and David Morneau’s trombone incant the sea using fragments of La Mer, Melissa Grey—like Salacia in her realm—interweaves them through layers of shimmering live sound processing that conjure the ocean.
We are in the early stages of this project. In November, 2023, we presented Sound the Asylum at the 2023 Sensory Decay Symposium (University of Amsterdam). The recording of our talk is in the playlist below, along with the 4 audio examples we reference in our talk.

Sound the Asylum, by composer-producers Melissa Grey & David Morneau, is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th–century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.

A door emerges
\n\n\n\n
Recorded in August, 2023, at the former Buffalo State Hospital in New York, A door emerges highlights the resonant frequencies of room 114 in Female Ward H. This 23’ x 37’ room, with large broken windows and layers of peeling yellow paint, is a parlor space where patients would gather communally.
A door emerges is part of ‘Sound the Asylum’, which catalogs the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. Our ambisonic recording process uses only natural sounds in and around the asylum—including summer insects and wind blowing a door closed in a distant room—to reveal resonant frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life in these elegant and massive buildings with disturbing histories.
The innovative and utopian Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Despite promising origins, their demise symbolizes the decay of the American mental health care system. Described as “America’s castles,” 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 30 or so of these hospitals remain standing today.

Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composers exploring the nature of sound and the nuance of human perception. Their immersive productions reveal mesmerizing worlds of endlessly evolving sound.
In March 2023, Grey & Morneau released ‘Always Becoming’—a sparkling tapestry of harp-like guitars and seductive beats—in collaboration with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, they designed a soundscape of insect field recordings for the exhibition ‘The Empty S(h)elf’—a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence (Montreal, Canada).
Their previous productions include ‘Dr Diego’—a chiptune disco for bass clarinet (2022), ‘Biophonic Beats’ —a structured improvisation for trombone and benjolin synthesizer (2021), ‘Symbolic Gesture’—electro-baroque and elemental beat patterns (2020), ‘Bourdon’—a drone meditation tuned to a utility frequency (2020), and ‘mem mer mère’—oceanic layers of cello, trombone, and live sound processing, which premiered at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland (2019).
In 2018, Grey & Morneau were the featured subjects of the music documentary series ‘Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B’ by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares.

Performed by Melissa Grey & David Morneau with cellist Kate Dillingham and live visualist Marc Fiaux, this music magnifies the formidable eight-measure cello excerpt from La Mer. As Dillingham’s cello and David Morneau’s trombone incant the sea using fragments of La Mer, Melissa Grey—like Salacia in her realm—interweaves them through layers of shimmering live sound processing that conjure the ocean.
We are in the early stages of this project. In November, 2023, we presented Sound the Asylum at the 2023 Sensory Decay Symposium (University of Amsterdam). The recording of our talk is in the playlist below, along with the 4 audio examples we reference in our talk.

bourdon 60hz [n°13] (2020)

\n\n\n\n
Bourdon 60Hz is a sound meditation performance of sine waves and trombone tuned to 60Hz. When one is asked to spontaneously hum a note, the pitch tends to match the utility frequency, or mains hum, because this frequency is integrated into our perceptual habits. In North America and parts of Asia, this frequency is 60Hz, while in the majority of the rest of the world it is 50Hz. Bourdon—meaning drone and derived from French for bumblebee and buzz—invites the audience to tune their individual embodiment of this ubiquitous tone by softly humming along as they listen. Bourdon offers space for contemplation and regeneration with an otherwise unwelcome frequency.
mem mer mère transforms eight measures of Debussy’s La Mer into one giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises through the Abyss, the Midnight, the Twilight, and finally the Sunlight as it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface. Performed by Melissa Grey & David Morneau with cellist Kate Dillingham and live visualist Marc Fiaux, this music magnifies the formidable eight-measure cello excerpt from La Mer.

“a delightful romp through a completely unique sonic world…wholly original” The Clarinet [Online]
Recorded in August, 2023, at the former Buffalo State Hospital in New York, A door emerges highlights the resonant frequencies of room 114 in Female Ward H. This 23’ x 37’ room, with large broken windows and layers of peeling yellow paint, is a parlor space where patients would gather communally.
A door emerges is part of ‘Sound the Asylum’, which catalogs the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. Our ambisonic recording process uses only the natural sounds in and around the asylum—including summer insects and the wind blowing a door closed in a distant room—to reveal the resonant frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life in these elegant and massive buildings with disturbing histories.
The innovative and utopian Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Despite promising origins, their demise symbolizes the decay of the American mental health care system. Described as “America’s castles,” 73 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 30 or so of these hospitals remain standing today.
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Melissa Grey & David Morneau are composers exploring the nature of sound and the nuance of human perception. Their immersive productions reveal mesmerizing worlds of endlessly evolving sound.
In March 2023, Grey & Morneau released ‘Always Becoming’—a sparkling tapestry of harp-like guitars and seductive beats—in collaboration with Robert Kirkbride (current spokesperson, founding trustee for PreservationWorks; former Dean, Parsons School of Constructed Environments). In 2022, they designed a soundscape of insect field recordings for the exhibition ‘The Empty S(h)elf’—a project by the artist-curator Angela Grauerholz, in collaboration with designer Réjean Myette, at Occurrence (Montreal, Canada).
Their previous productions include ‘Dr Diego’—a chiptune disco for bass clarinet (2022), ‘Biophonic Beats’ —a structured improvisation for trombone and benjolin synthesizer (2021), ‘Symbolic Gesture’—electro-baroque and elemental beat patterns (2020), ‘Bourdon’—a drone meditation tuned to a utility frequency (2020), and ‘mem mer mère’—oceanic layers of cello, trombone, and live sound processing, which premiered at the Cultural Center at the Havre de Grace Opera House, Maryland (2019).
In 2018, Grey & Morneau were the featured subjects of the music documentary series ‘Ao Vivo no Casarão | Lado B’ by Cristina Gagnebin Müller & Yuri Pires Tavares.

August 9-11 – Recording: Richardson Olmsted Complex (formerly Buffalo State Hospital), Buffalo, New York.
\n\n\n\n
Sound the Asylum, by composer-producers Melissa Grey & David Morneau, is a growing catalog of immersive audio documentation, recording the aural identity of decaying asylum interiors in 19th century Kirkbride Plan hospitals. We use an ambisonic recording technique to capture the activation of resonant frequencies in full 360º spatial surround. A series of recordings—each a recording of the previous iteration amplified by a loudspeaker—gradually reveal the humming resonance of a room’s dimensions and character.
These frequencies become part of the color of every sound activated in the space. It is an aural phenomenon that provides the ear spatial information. Our process captures the sounds in and around the asylum—summer insects, tolling church bells, and bits of decaying plaster falling to the floor. These sounds give a sense of place, immersing the listener in the sonic landscape of the resonating frequencies that would have softly imbued every sound of daily life for the patients, staff, and visitors in these buildings.
The innovative Kirkbride Plan, developed by psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride, created therapeutic environments for the treatment of mental illness, providing unprecedented access to space, natural light and fresh air. Described as “America’s castles,” approximately 75 Kirkbride Plan hospitals were constructed throughout the United States and Australia, and only 36 of these massive hospitals remain standing today. We documented the Richardson Olmsted Complex (44,594 sq m) in Buffalo, New York, in August, and The Ridges (65,032 sq m) in Athens, Ohio, in October.

They create sound in performance, crafting moments of sonic ecstasy before exploding them into a trillion sparkling shards of shimmering sounds that swirl in a paradox of energized stasis. Together they are developing an inscrutable and immersive creative process, which includes ancient and algorithmic sound practices. They embrace uncertainty, using structured improvisations, constrained processes, and found poetry to compose for an unknown future. They design projects that expand in endless variation to collaborate with musicians, video artists, designers, and creative technologists with Greyʼs benjolin synthesizer and Morneauʼs trombone at the center.\r\n\r\n=^.^=','Symbolic Gesture EPK','','inherit','closed','closed','','130-revision-v1','','','2021-04-10 21:27:07','2021-04-10 21:27:07','',130,'http://flowercat.org/?p=131',0,'revision','',0),(132,1,'2021-04-10 21:28:48','2021-04-10 21:28:48','![\"\"](\"http://flowercat.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/DIEGO-cover-final-1024x1024.png\")
