About the Item
Fever Songs is an interactive public sound installation project that brings together the vocal traditions of many religions, creating an active sonic experience that explores spiritual commonality & seeks to break down religious divisions. The work will be a commingling of ritual and scriptural vocalization, recorded live whenever possible, woven together & sonically altered by ever-changing computer processing and sensor-proximity location. The installation will be devoid of doctrine - rather, a bringing together of the commonality of the human ecstatic experience.
Material for Fever Songs will be gathered and recorded from vocalists/practitioners in Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region. John has been recording specific vocalists (unaccompanied) in the following religious communities: Tibetan Buddhist, Haitian, Abenaki, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, & Jewish, and will be incorporating location recordings gathered by other musicologists.
For the last 10 years, John Morton has been creating large-scale installations that involve direct public interactivity and are based on a particular time and place. Sound Bridge, commissioned by the Hudson River Museum is permanently installed on a pedestrian bridge over the Saw Mill River in downtown Yonkers. Four sensors are placed along the railing of the bridge, and visitors are invited to activate and manipulate the sounds (made of field recordings of industrial activities, environmental sounds, and oral histories from Yonkers) and to respond to other visitors and to the environment.
Sonic Hotel: Lost and Found Sounds of the Adirondacks was recently on view at the Adirondack Museum. In 2014, Usonia, created in collaboration with media students from the Jacob Burns Media Lab was part of the sound festival "Garden of Sonic Delights" at Caramoor and he also collaborated on an interactive video and sound installation for the Hudson River Museum in February (Mixed Messages - part of the exhibition "The Art ofVideo Games").
In 2017, he exhibited a new interactive work, Backchannel, at ODETTA Gallery in Brooklyn and is now debuting Fever Songs at ODETTA.

Ellen Hackl Fagan, ColorSoundGrammar_3 2010, Abstraction, Meditative
By Ellen Hackl Fagan
Located in Darien, CT
Inviting the accidental while painting, the artist's materials continue to reveal limitless possibilities for improvisation, like jazz music. Influenced by scientific theories-both real and imagined, kitsch, music, decorative art and indigenous textiles, Fagan's abstract paintings and interactive performance build connections between color and surface to sound.
This exploration has led to creating a series of interactive games with viewers, the most recent being The Alphabet Game. To play, viewers select, from colored squares, the color(s) that best represent each note in the familiar ABC Song melody. Through these playful interventions their thoughts about color and music are explored in-depth. Documenting their responses in the form of photographs and notes in journals, Fagan has compiled the results of fifteen artists who played the Alphabet Game during a lecture on color where the artist was the guest presenter in order to create this particular painting.
Fagan distilled the data gathered and painted this visualization of a color/sound alphabet based on the colors selected by this artist's group. These alphabet paintings introduce a wonderful completion to this pseudo-scientific investigation and celebrate painting...
