What does the Chicago River sound like to you?

from In the Loop (Segments) · host WBEZ Chicago

All summer, artists participating in the Beats on the River program have contemplated how to use sounds of waves, rain and wind collected at the Chicago-Calumet River in their musical tracks. The goal? To tell a story, build a relationship with the natural landscape and inspire environmental action. In the Loop learns more about the vision and hears a bit of the winning track. GUESTS: Somer Van Benton, WBEZ audio news desk reporterCesar Almeida, executive producer, Beats on the Chicago RiverBecky Lyons, director of equity and engagement, Friends of the Chicago River
