Callings (Musical Score), 2018
Kathryn Gohmert
Callings (Musical Score), 2018 is inspired by the metaphor and practice of calling and hunting wild birds. This score can be activated with the calling tools in this series to initiate interspecies conversations between birds and humans. Calling is a metaphor for the basic instinct driving our human story: our need to make contact. To be seen, heard and validated is a core force behind the most vulnerable habit of our species: our practice of crying into a void, waiting for a response. It can be witnessed in each message we send, prayer we speak, and Golden Record we send into space; a call waiting for its confirmation. These works give form and sound to the act of reaching expectantly into unknown places, the tools we use and the crushing weight of sitting with hope. By engaging participants in acts of presence and exchange, this work highlights biodiversity as an interconnected force, inviting deeper awareness of our shared ecosystems.
