"Harmony in the Age of Noise," a public art project currently under construction on the roof of Tufts University’s Tisch Library, Somerville, Mass., will bring together more than 100 students and faculty from diverse programs to explore the sound environment in which they live. Spearheaded by Tufts Professor of Anthropology David Guss and internationally renowned sound artist Bruce Odland, the project features an interactive sonic observatory housed in a large parabolic gazebo—designed and constructed of recycled and sustainable materials by sculptor Mark McNamara—in which a "sound dial" designed by Michael Luck Schneider is used to navigate through a harmonized mix of a real-time sonic feed, a collection of stored psycho-acoustic maps, and visitors' sounds programmed to play like hourly chimes. The installation will open to the public on April 17 and remain accessible throughout the spring. For more information, visit the project Web site.
