about

A Soundtrack of Indianapolis

Sound Expeditions is a soundtrack of Indianapolis. Comprised of original musical compositions that address both the familiar and the unfamiliar aspects of the city, Sound Expeditions documents site-based sound art and composition. Each track is an aural (or auditory) monument to places in the city, complex histories, divergent memories, and hopeful futures.

Each track on the soundtrack is a commission where an artist was paired with a site for the creation of a new composition. Like each unique site in Indianapolis, no two compositions are the same. The 30 original tracks that make up the soundtrack of Indianapolis reflect real experiences of the city that captures both the iconic, as well as the mundane, the remembered, and the forgotten. The Sound Expeditions artists have conceptualized complex social, environmental, imaginative, cultural, and political ideas and spaces into evocative soundscapes and musical scores that range from joyful to melancholic.

The tracks move between tensions from nature to urban infrastructures, from erasures to exposures, from animals and insects to digital sound bites, and from unsolved mysteries to commemorative historical events. The soundtrack of the city of Indianapolis is a musical journey that captures a range of unique compositional techniques with electronic sounds, archival extractions, and lyrical joys.

The messages from track to track vary from cautionary warnings to hopeful visions for the future are expressed through vibrant lyrics and innovative musical tactics. The compositions in Sound Expeditions capture the unique sonic fingerprint of each composer, and together they create a unified portrait of Indianapolis. The way Indianapolis sounds is truly unique.

I don't need every Kronos performance to be one that shakes me to my essence, but I do always want them to be interesting. Kronos has been my gateway to discovering a lot of composers I never knew of before, so this one is worth checking out. Richard Weems
