The Gus Fisher Gallery, 21-24 August 2008

A weekend festival of sound installations, performances and listening
events, including staff, students and graduates of The University of
Auckland School of Music and Elam School of Fine Arts. Speed of Sound
acknowledges the movement inherent in both the production and reception
of sound. Listening also plays an important role in our sense of space
and place, whether it is through our (conscious or subconscious)
awareness of the sound ecology we inhabit, or being transported to
destinations real or imagined through recordings and sonic
interventions.
