20260613 - Pride Concert with Barry Truax and Kat Estacio - Making Waves
from Making Waves
On today’s episode of Making Waves we are playing back electroacoustic pieces and discussion from a concert that took place in-person and online as part of Pride celebrations on June 6, 2026 in South River, Ontario, Canada. Last month we included an interview with Barry Truax and we listened to his piece What the Waters Told Me from his Elemental Trilogy. We will play from this concert the other two pieces in the Trilogy, which are How the Winds Caressed Me and When the Earth Mourned for Me. The second half features the Toronto-based soundmaker and researcher Kat Estacio. They draw on their Tagalog ancestry in their work. Estacio’s performance begins with traditional repertoire from the Kulintang, which is an Indigenous gong ensemble tradition from Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. They transition from that to a sonic exploration of the gong sounds along with sounds of rice being dropped into a metal sculpture that was fabricated by Estacio. Following the performance we will listen to a Q&A with the artist facilitated by the concert host Victoria Fenner.Making Waves is a monthly one hour program about radio art and sound art is produced by New Adventures in Sound Art's Artistic Director Darren Copeland in South River, Ontario, Canada. The show features Canadian, US, and international artists creating sound-based media art. It focuses on the techniques, processes, and motivations of the artists it features as well as individuals supporting the field through dissemination and curatorial activities. The show is a snapshot of what is happening in sound-based media art in the here and now from a northern perspective. https://naisa.ca/
