Joel Chadabe will be in Rome on June 22, 2007 for Flussi Correnti, an outdoor multidisciplinary art event at Piazza Tevere (between Ponte Sisto and Mazzini) on the Tiber river. Sponsored by Tevereterno, the event will begin at sunset with Luminalia, a new light installation by artist and Tevereterno co-founder Kristin Jones and architect Daniel Brown. At 21.00 and again at 24.00 there will be a performance of water-related compositions by the Ars Ludi ensemble, and at 23.00 there will be a presentation of water-related Ambienti Sonori from Ear to the Earth, including two Kyma-generated pieces: Joel Chadabe's Green Island (based on the sounds of water hitting the rocks in Penobscot Bay, Maine) and Carla Scaletti's Frog Pool Farm (based on the sounds of frogs singing and splashing in a pond on Illinois farmland). Kristin Jones and Tevereterno have worked with the city of Rome to create the Piazza Tevere as a site for collaborative projects that bring artists and the public together for greater environmental awareness in an urban context. Last year, 10,000 people attended an all-night program involving visual artists and composers. This year, attendance is expected to double.
