The Sonic Arboretum is a collaboration between Andrew Bird and Ian Schneller of Specimen Products. The former most think of as a musician, the latter many think of a guy who makes and fixes guitars. BUT both of them are also artists. Schnellers musical instruments are always, always art objects as well as functional instruments. Every piece is made to sound unique but also has a visual aesthetic that goes beyond the sonic.
If you have seen Andrew Bird perform you have seen Schnellers horns, two standing six piece plus tall.
The two artists combine their talents in the sonic installation, The Sonic Arboretum at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art. The installation will cover the museum’s atrium from December 6 through New Years Eve. There will be two “sonic events” one on December 21 and the other on the 22nd. Bird will perform using the installation itself as a PA. Both begin at 7:30 p.m. with doors at 6:30 p.m, for tickets go HERE.
The debut of The Sonic Arboretum was at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York this past August.
