This event is part of Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival.
Meetup location: Beaconsfield Park, southeast field (East 17th Avenue, between Slocan St. and Penticton St.) [map]
With the incoming creation of a wetland at Beaconsfield Park, this Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival event will be an evening to invoke the spirit of wetlands through sound. We gather to celebrate this and welcome this important green infrastructure in the neighborhood.
The evening will present a unique and immersive sound installation brought to you by a collaboration of local sound artists Brady Marks + Mark Timmings (Wetland Project) and Giorgio Magnanensi (West Coast Radians). This is an opportunity to listen to a high fidelity multi-channel recording of the ṮEḴTEḴSEN marsh soundscape (Wetland Project) emitted by flat audio panels made of native wood reclaimed from discard piles from mill operations on the Sunshine Coast of BC (West Coast Radians). In addition, there will be a presentation of the ecological importance of wetlands and the process of creating a new urban wetland by representatives from the Strathcona Community Gardens; and an active listening activity facilitated by Brady Marks. We encourage you to bring a blanket / chair to sit in while we take in the sounds and teachings of our wonderful guests. There will be warm beverages and a light snack to share.
All ages welcome!
Hear how these unique resonators sound in an entirely different location at soundgarden – Hadden Park on September 24 + 25.
This event takes place on the unceded territories of xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

She has long hosted the Soundscape Show and podcast on Vancouver’s Co-op Radio. Brady was born in shadow of Table Mountain, Cape Town South Africa and is now perched in a home on the unsurrendered lands of the šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, but thrives on queer party dance floors.
