August 14, 2026: Transformational Spatial Sounds

The northern and southern Berkshires are coming together to take advantage of the future of sound both in listening technology and composition. Tonight, August 14th at Studio 9 in North Adams, five fellows from the Tanglewood Music Center will show works they’ve been developing to take advantage of the Meyer Sound Constellation System the venue has installed. We’ll speak with one of those fellows, Elise Arancio, as well as Faculty member Todd Reynolds about this innovative program and what Elise, Diallo Banks, Omer Barash, Tianci Lu, Joseph (Sehyeok) Park have created for it.This Tuesday August 18th, the local music scene will once again come together to raise funds for Northampton arts programs. Transformance 36 takes place at look park under the theme “Moonage Daydream” and we’ll learn more about the much beloved event as we hear one of the many ensembles in the lineup: Edy Savage and Adrien Poser-Davey as Sun Kil Moon. And the Wine Thunderdome visits the amazing pair of women at the helm of Tip Top Wine Shop in Easthampton, Lauren Clarke and Miranda Brown, to pit northern hemisphere against southern with two food ready expressions of Chenin Blanc.Note: We mistakenly refer to TMC Faculty member Todd Reynolds as Todd Roberts early in the program, this is corrected in the later segments.
