\"Cheryl<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2009, Composer, performer, improviser, recordist and instrument builder Cheryl Leonard travelled to Palmer Station, Antarctica in search of sounds and music. She returned with a wealth of recordings, stories, and materials for building musical instruments. Cheryl shared her work at BASEbot on Feb 21, 2010.<\/p>\n

In her own words, Cheryl “creates experimental music using amplified natural objects as instruments.” If you want to get the drift, just imagine improvising a windswept landscape using a penguin bone screwed to driftwood, a contact mic, and a loop of light cotton rope. Or bowed limpet shells. Or evoking a flow of brash ice with resonant stones worn smooth by century after century of nesting penguins.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to check out Cheryl’s Antarctic Trip Blog<\/a>. She’s a fantastic storyteller, and there are a lot of great photos. Being a blog, the first page is the most recent, meaning it’s about the gigs after the trip rather than the trip. So you might start with the First post<\/a> and work your way forward.<\/p>\n

Also see my BASEbot 005 photo set on Flickr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cheryl’s main website is www.allwaysnorth.com<\/a> She’s got an an Antarctic field recordings CD called Chattermarks available for sale there. (or on iTunes<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Thanks to Dan and Sharon for hosting us!<\/p>\n
