From the edge of the other side of the world, wild Africa comes alive!
Superimposed sounds of bird species, elephants, lions and monkeys of the African Congo abound
within a NYC garden. Designed to startle, engage and enthrall visitors and passersby, this art event
is more than mere amusement however -acting as homage and commemorative
to the African-American burial ground in which the garden takes it's name.
The sounds of Summer superimposed over a Winter's landscape.

“Requiem”
From ancestral muck & slime to man-on-the- moon, Requiem encapsulates
the entirety of life on Earth, epitomizing the human experience,
in this surround-sound, aural extravaganza.
From Genesis to Apocalypsis; a soundtrack to life on planet Earth.
Coming to a cathedral near you soon!

The 1880's Gansevoort Market superimposed over the 20th Century
Sounds of the African Congo abound within the
M'Finda Kalunga Community Garden, Lower East Side
Performed upon the Gansevoort Street Landing and Plaza directly outside the Whitney Museum of American Art, superimposed audio transmissions re-create the marketplace in all it’s glory. Listen to the sounds of horse-drawn carts on cobblestone streets; vendors calling out their wares, the mighty
roar, whistles and horn blasts of the locomotive atop the Highline elevated tracks. Hear live musicians of the era, livestock, auctioneers, early automobile sounds, and the simple hustle and bustle of the market.
The Gansevoort Street Market of the 1880’s comes to life in 2024!
