The Bell Project
Patrick Hazell
Monday, 19 Feb 2007 at 10:45 am – Pioneer Room, Memorial Union
Musician Patrick Hazell grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River in Burlington, Iowa, a town of many beautiful church spires. Years later, this landscape inspired his unique Bell Projects, large-scale sound events featuring the interplay of church, fire station, school, and other bells found in urban environments. Hazell focuses on environmental sounds, both natural and machine-made. The project is intended, in part, to raise the awareness of noise pollution in our towns and cities. In his presentation, Hazell will also discuss elements of historical, urban sound environments and the importance of considering sound in urban development.
