Echoes From the Mountains, Suoni in Alta Quota, a sound project of the official Cultural Olympiad program, is about tuning into the force of nature and of art creating “sound environments” which will stimulate the public to pay more attention to the world of sounds, may these be natural or the elaboration of an artist or a composer. For several weeks, during the XX Olympic Winter Games in the ski resorts hosting the races, eleven Italian and international artists selected by the curator Ombretta Agrò Andruff will present sound installations created for the occasion. All of the artists involved in Echoes from the Mountains, Suoni in Alta Quota, with the exception of five showcased in the Morrow Sound Cube, were asked to produce specific sound works responding to the unique characteristics of the project such as its geographical location, the Winter Olympic Games framework and the diverse and heterogeneous audience that is going to interact with their installations. Charlie Morrow will present the MorrowSound™ Cube, a 3-D sound system that creates a totally enveloping sound world, which will showcase his own work and those of five other international artists: Olivia Block, Steve McCaffery, Miya Masaoka, Scanner and Vlada Tomova.
