In the fall of 2009 the Soundwalk collective embarked on a journey aboard an old gaff-rigged sailboat equipped with scanners and aerial antennae for a sound odyssey recording the hertzian frequencies along the shores of the Mediterranean basin. Soundwalk continuously scanned and recorded all possible radio interceptions over a range of 40 miles around the boat while close to shore and far out at sea.

The product of this adventure is Ulysses Syndrome: an immersive audiovisual performance. Mixed live onstage at Conflux HQ on Friday October 8 by musicians and new media artists on turntables, laptops, and other customized media and sound objects, this show is based on a series of recordings retracing the path of Ulysses’ legendary voyage as described in Homer’s Odyssey.

Soundwalk will also perform Ulysses Syndrome live aboard the Frying Pan in Chelsea this Thursday, 9/16. For more info visit http://live.soundwalk.com
