Stranger
Sarah Walker
A group of strangers arrive as guests in an unfamiliar place. Welcomed by their host, they exchange small gifts of listening and being heard, sounding and unsounding. Every gesture they make takes their individual action into a shared sonic space. So what can we make from this collective attention?
Having arrived as a group of strangers, perhaps they leave feeling like a band.
