"I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my work and reflections on this community through soundscape composition and gardening. I've had so many ideas about sound, landscape and gardens, to have just one idea realized feels great."
Philosophy
My work revolves around the themes of memory, space, silence and the invisible.
BIO
Norman W. Long (b. 1973, Chicago, IL) is a sound artist/designer/composer based in Chicago, IL. His current work focuses on sound art production within the larger context of landscape. The processes involved in his practice lie within the area of field recording, electro-acoustic composition and dub technique. Norman's art/studio practice involves gardening, collecting, performing and recording to create, objects, environments, situations in which the artist and audience are engaged in a dialogue about memory, space, value, silence and the invisible. It is his desire that his practice offers us a space to consider our relationship to sound via social, ecological structures, our interiority and to affirm our existence.
Norman has exhibited and performed in galleries in Chicago, Ithaca, New York, London, and the San Francisco Bay Area.
