UNPOP, or “Unpopular Music”, is an 8-channel listening environment installation created by Scott Smallwood and Stephan Moore for Burning Man festival. 2024 marked the 4th UNPOP installation at Burning Man, after installations at the 2018, 2019, and 2022 festivals.

Each day of the week features a unique selection of pieces. Feel free to spend as much time in the space as you’d like – sit and listen, study, read, nap, or just hang out!

CLEAT 16-channel Brainwave Concert [Performance]

Alyssa Miserendino and Conor Tighe will be performing a live brainwave concert, in response to field recordings Alyssa has recorded in the Amazon, the desert, and other locations. Utilizing the 16-channels of the CLEAT system, the performance is spatialized by separate brain waves assigned to electronic instruments. The remaining channels spatialize the field recordings, previously recorded on binaural or multiple channel rigs. This performance is a celebration of Alyssa Miserendino and Joshua Bruner's first vinyl album, Oropendola, released on February 14, 2023. The vinyl album will be available for sale, from the small edition of 200.

AMAZON RECORDINGS [research]

With the guidance and organization of Randy Borman of the Cofán and in collaboration with Gordon Hempton of Quiet Parks International and Nick McMahan, we will embark on a journey from Quito, Ecuador to Garza-cocha lake. The journey will include listening and collecting recordings with DPA’s newly released binaural microphone. These recordings will be used to create a new piece, commissioned by the city of Raleigh, North Carolina.

The region of the Zabalo River, Ecuador, where we will be passing through, is the world’s first certified wilderness quiet park. Consider supporting the Cofán Survival Fund here.

Gratitude to the anonymous donor who has made this research trip possible, along with donated flight miles and the generosity of DPA Microphones, who is sponsoring the use of their equipment.

I will be in residency at Spatial Sound Institute, in June of 2018, working on the 4DSOUND engine.

During the residency I will be spatializing and mastering the 24-hour cycle of sound that is one ingredient to the project: ode to Heisenberg + De Maria. The residency will culminate in a 24-hour listening session, where participants are invited to stay as little and as long as like, as well as sleep in the dedicated sound space.

*****

Below is an image from the 24-hour listening session. Around 15 hours into the piece, I found out a yoga workshop was running in the building. I invited the class in to practice, during a 75-minute massive rainstorm, that takes place around 3pm.

FOUNDATION FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS [grant]

The Foundation for Contemporary Arts has awarded großer Lauscher with an emergency grant to purchase equipment for exhibition. The organization has a rich history in its formation and through the dedication of artists supporting artists:

"In 1962 Jasper Johns, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and other painters and sculptors came together to help Merce Cunningham and his dance company finance a proposed season on Broadway by arranging for a sale of their artworks. Their fund-raising efforts were so successful that there was money to spare, and when they asked Cunningham what he thought they should do with it, he replied, “We're all in the same boat--why don't you give it to other performing artists?""
