Ecology of Sound
Place: Mariposa Museum, Peterborough, NH (about 19 miles from Keene)
Price: Child $5/Adults $15
Ages: All
From the Brazilian rain forest comes an amazing experience of sound and rhythms. Musician Richardo Frota will bring the entire audience, young and old alike, in connection with nature, the rhythms of nature, and the sounds of the forest at the Mariposa Museum. Reminding us of the delicate balance of soundvibration, the power of the forest and the ecology of life on Earth, his program at the Mariposa will offer an educational and musical experience for both children and adults, encouraging the spirit of creativity living within each member of the audience, through listening, experimenting, playing, interacting, inventing, reinventing.
Inspired by a bird singing, the wind through the leaves, the sounds of a running brook or the crackle of a fire, Ricardo is a multi-cultural percussionist and violinist with over 30 years experience. Children giggle and call him "the forest man" while adults honor him as a musical healer. Considering Nature as his teacher, Ricardo says "When I breath in the vibrations in the air, from a fire, from walking barefoot on a forest path, I realize my spirit is the spirit of nature. Sound is vibration. We are vibration! From nature the inspiration came to me to create Ecology of Sound as a way to express and experiment with this vibration, the life force, the sounds of nature, the sounds within us." Ricardo draws inspiration from African, Native American, indigenous peoples, South American, and Brazilian music.
