In the spirit of finding a collective community voice and building on her 2019 processional performance in the Village of Cold Spring, Marinella Senatore and The School of Narrative Dance, Magazzino Italian Art and artist Marinella Senatore collaborated in Fall 2020 to launch Cold Spring Soundtrack. Initiated through an open call starting on September 9, 2020, volunteers from the Hudson Valley region and beyond were invited to share short sound recordings of anything that felt reflective of their current moment. At the end of the open submissions’ period, Senatore and composer Emiliano Branda composed an original score that interwove every sound recording received, creating a symphonic soundscape made up of the individual voices.
Participants left their recordings by calling +1 (845) 476-8409 and leaving a voicemail, sending a sound recording via text message to +1 (845) 476-8409, or by emailing opencall@magazzino.art through November 7, 2020.
Senatore put forth key words and examples of sounds for community members to respond and refer to when creating their own. Contributions were between a minimum of 3 seconds and a maximum of 5 minutes. Every contribution shared was included in the final piece.
Examples of possible contributions include: Ambient noises from the outdoors, your home, your workplace, your school. Your voice. A voice. A conversation you had. A conversation you overheard. A banging noise. A song you wrote. A song you like. You singing a song you like. A protest. A recording of practicing your instrument. Choir practice. Band practice. Vocal chanting. A recording of the sounds you make while doing chores, while you’re cooking, while you’re drawing, while you’re writing, while you’re reading, while you’re running. Your cat. Your dog. Silence. Any noise that felt reflective of where you were and who you were were welcome. If you couldn’t record what you wanted to share, verbal descriptions of the sound were welcome.
