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.

STATEMENT
In site-specific exhibitions, public art commissions, collaborative and individual projects Jo Yarrington has used varied combinations of glass, waxed surfaces, found artifacts and experimental analog photography to investigate the way we perceive – searching for, experimenting with and developing throughout a sensory-based vernacular. Her mostly translucent materials function as physical framework and symbolic membrane. Light, both natural and ambient, provides a kinetic or time-based element to her work. Scale and the integration of architecture are also pivotal components.
In the 6-part installation for the two-person exhibition Illuminated, Yarrington continues her interest in the connections between vision, sound and language. In Mute-ability: Compositions 1 – 6, her title for this light-based comprehensive work, she combines the words mute and malleability. The work focuses on found piano rolls, a music storage medium, originally conceived as coded notations or ‘note control data’ for music produced in pneumatic player pianos...
