Composing with the Earth

Join musi­cian Elise Sil­vestri and sto­ry­teller Elise Pricer for an after­noon of recon­nect­ing with the sounds of nature. Attune your­self to the earth in record­ing the ambi­ent bird chips, wind whoosh­es, and after­noon laugh­ter of Gov­er­nors Island, and craft a com­po­si­tion reflect­ing the inher­ent musi­cal­i­ty of nature. Explore through son­ic art what it means to live in reci­procity with the earth from moment to moment, embody­ing your own human­i­ty in the process.

No musi­cal expe­ri­ence is need­ed — they’ll walk you through every­thing you need to know!

Cli­mate Imag­i­nar­i­um is one of the 2026 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
