Lauren Weinger is an extraordinary poet of sound/ her imagination shapes sound in epic proportions as she creates site specific works in collaboration with choreographers, dancers, and videographers/ she derives the sounds from each site and transforms them into metaphors and similes/ sound collages shaped by the environment that serves as the container of a new music/ such soundings redfine the parameters of musical meaning /making poetry/ lauren is a magical shaman fusing with the sounds emanating from the site/ discovering and disclosing inner rhythms of the existential reality of the physical world her music will inhabit...My work is site motivated, the vocabulary changes in response to the constraints and material of a given place. The memory of sounds no longer heard and ‘the ability of recorded sound to evoke memory and 'bring back' places that no longer exist. ...based on processed acoustic sounds gathered at the site, or of the object being portrayed. In performance and installation I diffuse and layer sounds using three dimensional multiple channel and speaker projection extending in some cases to forty speakers through spaces up to a quarter mile long and sixty feet high.hearing recordings of her work is like viewing postcard prints of huge museum tapestries/ her music is the sound in the moment/ in the special world of the work/ giving it immediacy/ validating its origin and authentic being...
