DC Listening Lounge began in the fall of 2004 by like-minded audio enthusiasts as an informal place to listen, experiment and learn more about the art and craft of sound. We continue to meet once a month in DC living rooms to share and listen to one another’s latest audio finds- and to continue an ongoing conversation about sound and creative storytelling.

We always welcome curious visitors, eager listeners, and sound enthusiasts of all stripes and types. To join our mailing list or learn more about our monthly meetings, email us at sound@dclisteninglounge.com.

Lynlee Beauty was Everwhere (excerpt)

 

Here is an excerpt from Lynlee’s Beauty was Everywhere, which was featured in Sound Interpretations  dedication to Virginia Woolf. To quote Una Lee, “Soothing field recording and awakening text are merged together in one to express the deepest admiration towards Virginia Woolf.” Enjoy!

Lynlee’s Beauty was Everywhere on Haze’s recent Sound Interpretation Series: Virginia Woolf

cover
Lynlee has contributed a new track entitled Beauty was Everywhere for Haze’s Sound Interpretation series dedicated to Virginia Woolf. This track consists of field recordings and a superb, rich reading by Una herself . Both of us are great admires of Woolf, so hopefully the track will inspire a few new readers to seek Woolf out, or motivate some old readers to dust off their copies of Mrs Dalloway . Here is a link to the Haze compilation. More Lynlee soon.

a rolling mindI am happy to announce A Rolling Mind, my audio visual collaboration with Una Lee, will be screened tomorrow night at The Heritage Film Festival. The schedule is here .The Heritage Film Festival is curated by the incredible O.Funmilayo Makarah. As I stated in a post last year, I am always grateful to be part of her festival, this is my sixth year.   I am providing a number of links to check out her legendary film work and bio. I was fortunate enough to see some films presented  at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C and it is defiantly worth checking out. A number of the LA Rebellion filmmakers will be present at the festival. More on this later.

Lynlee on Haze’s latest Sound Interpretation Series: Jack Kerouac

cover-2

Lynlee  composed a track specifically for Haze’s latest Sound Interpretation series dedicated to Jack Kerouac. The track entitled “A Taste of Rainy Dawn” has Una and me reading Kerouac’s haikus in English and Korean with additional field recordings and soundscapes. The piece was really a pleasure to make and we hope it captures a certain feeling in the haikus. To listen or download go here.   Lots of great things to discover. More from Lynlee soon.

From the Haze net label:

The HAZE Netlabel presents the project Sound Interpretations. In this project we propose to rethink literary heritage of the 20th century. Over the 2012-2013 years, each month we will release the compilation dedicated to the 12 most outstanding writers of the 20th century.
