Center for Contemporary Music present

CHAIRS
A media installation project located around the Mills campus.

Laetitia Sonami
2007 David Tudor Composer-in-Residence

As a project during Sonami’s David Tudor residency at Mills this fall
'07, she invited students and faculty to create sound installations on
the Mills campus. Participants were asked to create listening spaces
using chairs as site, instrument and space for reflection. Sonami’s
wish is that students crisscrossing the campus will stumble on these
chairs, stop an instant to sit and hear. The installations will be up
until Monday nov.19 – Please check the map and discover the chairs
!
