As a culture, we used to share our dreams together with our neighbors. Come to the Storefront Gallery at 344 2nd St. Troy, NY on <b>November 19th</b> with your yoga mat or bedding and take a relaxing CatNap. Try some mugwort tea if you like. Sound artist, Andrea Williams, will create a soundscape for lucid dreaming. Afterwards, we will have a collage workshop where you can create an image of your experience. You do not have to be an artist to participate! These images will be shown alongside participants’ artwork from artist Drea LaRose’s media arts workshop, with <b>a reception on December 10th 5-8pm</b>.
<b>RSVP your spot for November 19th for 1-3pm or 4:30-6:30pm at</b> <a href="https://www.listeninglistening.com/" target="_blank">www.listeninglistening.com</a>
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Arts Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Arts Center of the Capital Region.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">For <a href="https://www.facebook.com/annualdreamfestival/?tn-str=k*F" target="_blank">Ione's Annual Dream Festival,</a> SleepWalks has a residency from January 14th through January 20th. We propose flipping the tables for two nights on January 16th and January 18th. On these nights, we will listen to one of our recorded performances while we sleep. After each evening, we will journal and document our dreams, and compare them with the dreams recorded by participants of the SleepWalks event from which the sounds are taken. We will also make these recordings available to participants of the Dream Festival so we can all share the experiences and our dream journals together on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/annualdreamfestival/?tn-str=k*F" target="_blank">Dream Festival Facebook page</a>. Our goal with this online manifestation of SleepWalks is to continue our research into how sound elicits dream, and to look for similarities in the dreams of participants that might be related to the sounds we are all hearing as we sleep.</span></div>

We use field recordings collected around the world. The performances last twelve-hours, gently fading out in the morning as participants journal and share their dreams.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The goal of this long-term project is to study the relationship between sound and dream in order to learn to compose collective soundwalks for dreamers. During SleepWalks we record the sound samples that we use, and later, by reading the timestamp, we mark possible correlations between the sounds in the improvisation and writings from the participants' dream journals. </span></div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
SleepWalks is <a href="http://www.vime.org/" target="_blank">Lee Pembleton</a> and <a href="http://www.listeninglistening.com/" target="_blank">Andrea Williams</a>. We create improvised soundscapes of our field-recordings to create surreal-scapes for sleeping dreamers. Often when dreamers sleep in the same location for a SleepWalks, they share collaborative dreams. Please join our virtual residency at the Queens Museum as part of the <a href="http://www.fluxfactory.org/event/step/" target="_blank">Saunter, Trek, Escort, Parade (S.T.E.P.) exhibit</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
You can download our soundscape <i>SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams</i> (about 45 minutes long) for listening here from Google Drive:<br />
<br />

<br />
When you wake up, please write down your dreams or lucid imagery in your online Dream Journal (link below). Also you can upload any drawings of dreams that you might like to share in there as well:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://goo.gl/forms/woyBIkMllHa2jiEz1" target="_blank">SleepWalks Dream Journal</a><br />
<br />
We will be posting the dream journal entries on this site <a href="http://www.sleepwalks.org/">www.sleepwalks.org</a> until December 15th.<br />
<br />
Thank you for sharing!<br />
<br />

On September 29th, 2018, Lee Pembleton and Andrea Williams performed a SleepWalks overnight at Flux Factory, an art gallery in Long Island City, NYC for the closing night of the <a href="http://www.fluxfactory.org/event/step/" target="_blank">S.T.E.P. exhibit</a>. The theme we chose for the night for the 8-hours of our improvised field-recordings was "cities and a rising flood line for NYC. A sense of despair, yet hope and renewal." In the morning, we shared breakfast and talked about our dreams and what dreams are for. Super lovely conversation! Thank you to the curators and to the SleepWalks participants! <3<br />

In an average lifespan of 77 years that is 25 years of our lives. Many cultures find wisdom in dreams.<br /><br />Some theorists propose that before the industrial age, in the United States we would fall asleep at night for just a few hours, and then wake up and share dreams together before the second sleep of the night.<br /><br />Bring your sleeping bags, pillows and comfy blankets to Stable Gate Farm and Winery for a first sleep–a 'catnap'– with sound artist Andrea Williams.<br /><br />SleepWalks: A CatNap is an evening of relaxation and lucid dreaming that aims to awaken your creativity and dreams.<br /><br />We will share mugwort tea, essential oils, snacks, and a brief gong bath to enter a state of restfulness. Then there will be a SleepWalks 'CatNap', a live 45-minute electronic music soundscape with a different theme for each workshop to facilitate lucid dreaming on a particular topic to share about with the group afterwards.<br /><br />Williams will create sounds from field recordings, live samples of the room resonance, and various electronically processed acoustic instruments, to create an extended musical composition for the audience who are encouraged to sleep in the performance space.<br /><br />On June 7th the theme is Travelogue of Memory, a connection to places and the self.<br />On June 21st, the theme is Water, a sense of connectedness to our local waterways.<br /><br />CatNaps encourage lucid dreaming in a relaxed state, as well as full dreaming for those who can fall asleep more easily. CatNaps are an abbreviated version of the project SleepWalks, where participants sleep overnight in a space with an improvised 8-hour electronic music performance by Andrea Williams and Lee Pembleton, and often collaborative dreams take place.<br /><br />The goal of the long-term project, SleepWalks, is to compose engaging and collaborative soundwalks for dreamers; to compose soundwalk experiences in participants' dreams. CatNaps allow the project to be performed more broadly, as currently the duo of Pembleton and Williams live in separate cities. During both SleepWalks and CatNaps, the dreamscapes are created using field recordings collected from around the world.<br /><br />Sleepwalks has been performed at numerous venues including Issue Project Room, NYC; Diapason Gallery, NYC; and Mills College, Oakland, CA as part of The Deep Listening Institute's Dream Festival. SleepWalks members include: musicians, Andrea Williams and Lee Pembleton, and scientist, Todd Anderson. Most recently, SleepWalks received an Arts Center of the Capital Region/NYSCA grant to perform SleepWalks: The Body of Dreams (with Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company): an art exhibit and multimedia dance performance created from the collaborative dreams of SleepWalks participants.<br /><br />Sound artist, Andrea Williams, utilizes site-specific elements and perceptual cues to reveal the unseen connections between people and their environment. Her compositions make use of field recordings, instruments, computer technologies and the sound of the performance space itself. She has led soundwalks based on concepts of acoustic ecology and Deep Listening in NYC, San Francisco, and also in people's dreams in the collaborative project called SleepWalks. She has shown and performed both solo and with various musicians and artists at galleries and alternative spaces internationally, such as the Whitney Museum, Eyebeam, Roulette, The Kitchen, Children’s Creativity Museum, NPR, and the Mamori sound artist residency in the Amazon rainforest. Andrea has created soundscapes and video art for Hope Mohr Dance at Stanford University, Alyce Finwall Dance Theater at the Joyce Theater in NYC, and Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company at the Chapel + Cultural Center in Troy, NY. She is a board member of the American Society for Acoustic Ecology, a yoga teacher, and she is studying our connection to water via soundwalks as a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic Arts at RPI in Troy, NY.<br /><br /><a data-lynx-mode="asynclazy" href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.listeninglistening.com%2F&h=ATNyaqGL3WEQGxbp8Aa6Xoi-djsvT5VCEipTm155Q1EyaImgXLY2Vrb0pEelgP0xuLIiDobrRuNrYbzZuh5kvYhKX_uMshqFkz6dOspAdV_KTZmL_hfDLAuX" rel="nofollow noopener" style="color: #365899; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">http://</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; font-family: inherit;"></span>www.listeninglistening.com/</a><br /><br />/// FAQ ///<br /><br />What do I need to bring?<br /><br />Please bring comfy bedding that you can get cozy on for about 45 minutes.<br /><br />I might arrive late.

Due to the fact that some participants may fall asleep during the performance, and we do not want to disturb them for the 45 minutes, we will be closing the doors at 8:30pm.<br /><br />Where do I park?<br /><br />In the Parking Lot on the left just before the Lodge, the event will be held in the lodge.</span></span></div>

<br />
SLEEPWALKS: THE BODY OF DREAMS is a 45-minute multimedia dance performance based<br />
on collective dreams. Derived from dream journals and biosensor data from two overnight<br />
SleepWalks soundscape performances that took place in 2016, soundscape improvisations<br />
for sleeping dreamers were performed by musicians Pembleton and Williams. The theme of<br />
WATER encouraged water-themed dreams as well as collective dreams. These overnight<br />
SleepWalks components explored the effect of sound on dreaming, especially on collective<br />
dreaming. Outcomes included individual dreams that incorporated the entire group, single<br />
participants, or one of the musicians.<br />
<br />
For the Kaatsbaan performance, Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company dancers have transformed<br />
themselves into the dreamer bodies as they are immersed in Williams’ video projection<br />
environments. Reality blurs with the dreamworld as the dancers move back and forth<br />
between the reality of sleep and the revelation of our dreams.<br />
<br />
ABOUT THE COLLABORATING SLEEPWALKS ARTISTS:<br />
<br />
TODD ANDERSON<br />
As a neuroscientist and creative coder, Todd Anderson builds systems that enable faster<br />
learning based on recent research into how memories are formed. Sleep is an important<br />
part of memory formation, as sleep is when new short-term memories are consolidated<br />
into long-term memories. In fact, by curating the sonic environment during both<br />
daytime studying and nighttime consolidation, a learner can boost their memory of their<br />
studies. This phenomenon was discovered in academic sleep labs around the world, and<br />
his company, Sheepdog Sciences, worked on a version for home use that was utilized to<br />
track stages of sleep and brainwaves of participants in the SleepWalks overnight<br />
performances.<br />
<br />
LEE PEMBLETON<br />
Lee has been composing and performing music and art for over twenty years. The bulk<br />
of that time has been spent investigating sound environments and creating<br />
performative installations. He has been a member of several contemporary music/<br />
performance ensembles &amp; jazz bands along with the occasional rock, psychedelic &amp; folk<br />
groups. He has performed his works at a variety of venues, ranging from the<br />
Smithsonian&#39;s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden to Chicago&#39;s infamous punk<br />
club, the Czar Bar. His installations have been featured in museums, galleries and clubs<br />
in America and Europe. http://vime.org/ http://earthboundmoon.com<br />
<br />
ANDREA WILLIAMS<br />
Sound artist, Andrea Williams, utilizes site-specific elements and perceptual cues to<br />
reveal the unseen connections between people and their environment. Her<br />
compositions make use of field recordings, instruments, computer technologies and the<br />
sound of the performance space itself. She has led soundwalks based on concepts of<br />
acoustic ecology and Deep Listening in NYC, San Francisco, and also in people&#39;s dreams<br />
in the collaborative project called SleepWalks. She has shown and performed both solo<br />
and with various musicians and artists at galleries and alternative spaces internationally,<br />
such as the Whitney Museum, Eyebeam, Roulette, The Kitchen, Children’s Creativity<br />
Museum, NPR, and the Mamori sound artist residency in the Amazon rainforest. Andrea<br />
has created soundscapes for Hope Mohr Dance at Stanford University and video<br />
environments for Alyce Finwall Dance Theater at the Joyce Theater in NYC. She is a<br />
board member of the American Society for Acoustic Ecology, a yoga teacher, and she is<br />
studying our connection to water via soundwalks as a Ph.D. candidate in Electronic<br />
Arts at RPI in Troy, NY. http://www.listeninglistening.com<br />

Talking about SleepWalks and SleepWalks: CatNaps to Participants Who Have Just Gotten Cozy...fire is crackling. The premise of SleepWalks: CatNaps are based on knowledge of our history, that we used to have a first and second sleep as a culture. In-between sleeps for one or two hours, we would share our dreams with a partner (and/or have sex). Some would even leave the house to talk to neighbors, pray together, sew, or chop wood. Then, it was back to sleep for second sleep, a more restful sleep. Some literature shows that insomnia began being references about the time when sleep became more consolidated. This may be due to streetlamps, coffee shops, and other post-industrial changes to our every day culture.</h2>

Participants are then offered to choose either Lavendar Oil (for Calming) or Geranium Oil (for Comforting)</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Dream Journals and Pens are then Handed Out and lights slowly dim and go out. Some participants may sleep, some may rest, some may lucid dream. I perform a 45-minute soundscape based on the theme of water with a palette of sounds that are somewhat composed, but mostly I improvise. Some effects are used, and some live instruments are used as well but always woven into the soundscape. </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
The various soundscapes for this CatNap...that I remember...included sounds of a bell (live in mic), a stream, a waterfall, Santa Fe River downtown, downtown Santa Fe, playing a singing bowl near a roadway in Innsbruck, Austria, foghorns/boats/Pacific Ocean at night in the Headlands, CA, walking through a tunnel of active windchimes, a thunderstorm, walking on gravel, playing gamelan, playing a small singing bowl (live in mic), seeds, Native Americans who attend San Isidro Church and some invited visiting artists singing blessings to the river in Santa Fe, NM where the river was dry, singing bowls that were blessed at the oldest bell foundry in Austria, and crickets. It got a bit chilly as it took me awhile as I was immersed in performing to realize the fire had gone out. I tried to get it going quickly again at the very end of the performance. I didn't have a blanket, but participants did. However, it must have been noticeably cooler. </h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Towards the end, I slowly activate the soundscape to help awaken participants. I played the sound of a gong sample along with ringing out a singing bowl in the room. I then slowly turn up the lights asking participants to begin to wiggle their fingers and toes. As they awaken, I ask that their experiences are to be written down in the dream journal. I usually collect them all at the end, however, for this CatNap I offered that if they like they could keep them. About half of the participants kept their journal, and some told me that they found it to be wonderfully introspective and personal. Below are journals from the participants who chose to share their experiences. </h2>

<h2>
We then discuss "What Are Dreams?" together as a group. Scientists still do not know exactly what dreams are for, yet we spend about 25 years of our lives asleep and dreaming. Are they for collecting and organizing our thoughts from the daytime? Are they for problem solving? Are they VR simulators so we can take risks and not die, learning how to survive longer and better? Are they to connect with our elders, our ancestors for wisdom and spirituality? Are they to embody others to form understanding or send a message from beyond? Our group brought up each of these as reasons for dreaming. (sorry if I left off more, feel free to let me know and I can post more here.)</h2>
<h2>
I then played an energizing large crystal singing bowl to awaken everyone to be able to get safely home for their second sleep. For this CatNap, I added a new thing...perhaps participants could also write down their experience after second sleep. Any dreams? What would they be like? I handed out my cards with earplugs attached to them so they could go to my website to go to where they could type in a dream. But perhaps uploading a photo of an entry in a physical dream journal would have been easier I realize in hindsight. I only received one reply, and no dreams were recalled by this participant. I myself did not remember a dream even though I set an intent. And I remembered that hm, well if second sleep used to be about having a more restful sleep, deep sleep is our most restful state of sleep. After deep sleep, we often do not recall our dreams when we wake up. </h2>

Here is a CatNap participant's entry (Thank You!): </h2>

A fleeing dream involving a rolling fire ball with glowing embers and a vein like structure!

A human figure, spread eagle like, with a board in front of the as if confining them or barring their passage. ... And then another human, only manga like in its illustration, clambering about, perhaps reclining in a post and beam construction that looked something like the skeleton of a wooden ship, only more comical in its rendering.

I did however, get inspired to draw before sleeping. I have been waiting for some art supplies that I ordered to reach me, and they arrived yesterday. I was eager to try out the new ink pens, ink and brush even though I was quite sleepy. I think because I had watched someone draw and ink a bug not long ago, but also the cricket sounds somehow lingered with me this time at the CatNap, I ended up drawing an insect, a large bug like a moth or fly in pen and turquoise ink. It was chewing a hole through a very large leaf. Grotesque? But when I looked at it, it was brightly colored, vibrant, and I did not perceive it as damaging but as creating an "opening" to get through to the other side, the sky. It was a way to look through and travel beyond. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: ProximaNova, "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">3.

We focused on the theme of WATER </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">that encouraged water-themed dreams as well as collective dreams.

Participants are encouraged to then journal and share their dreams in the morning. In October, you can see your dreams incorporated into a new multi-media dance performance by Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company! SleepWalks endeavors to discover the influence of sound on dream worlds. Wine, water, and snacks will be provided at the reception at 9pm (Doors to the event close at 9:30pm.), and also tea, coffee, and bagels will be provided in the morning. Please bring your own bedding, pillow, toiletries, and comfortable clothes for sleeping in. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; letter-spacing: -0.24px; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Please be prepared to stay until 9am September 3rd.

The goal of this long-term project is to provide an engaging experience for collective dreaming and to compose </span><a href="http://www.listeninglistening.com/soundwalks.html" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23.4px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">soundwalks</a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 23.4px;"> for dreamers. For this SleepWalks, we will be working with Dr. Todd Anderson of Sheep Dog Sciences once again. Participants of SleepWalks can volunteer (mention in your RSVP) to wear one of six comfy wireless EEG headbands for September 2nd. (Six dancers from Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company will be wearing the six wireless EEG headbands for September 9th SleepWalks.)</span></span><br />

Participants were invited to Stable Gate Farm for a evening of lucid dreaming and sound therapy that aimed to awaken their creativity and dreams. SleepWalks: A Catnap examines our subconscious and altered states of realities. Sound artist Andrea Williams took the audience through a multi-sonic performance emphasizing the process of dreams and collective dreaming. The audience was encouraged to lucid dream or sleep and then journal about their experience to record their impressions of their own subconscious world. Sound and energy healer, Lavender Suarez, then performed a therapeutic gong bath.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Preceding the performances there was free mugwort tea and available for purchase lentil meatballs in collard greens with toppings (by Oliver's Twists, vegetables by Capital Roots); massages with Rita May, and free guided essential oil experiences with Kaitlin Moen.</div>

Anonymous IV dreams of friends<br />
<br />
Greg (a friend who has given up drinking) is drinking a beer from a long-neck beer bottle (like a corona). The neck of the bottle breaks off but there is still beer left. Greg pours it into an empty soda can. I tell him he might not want to drink it because there may be tiny glass shards in it. He looks me in the eye and says, "you're right."!N!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365779439121892297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640340024093135878.post-7961832829426251392012-10-29T18:24:00.005-07:002012-10-29T18:24:49.298-07:0002012.07.27 Dreams: Anonymous III<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anonymous dreams of facebook<br />
<br />
Co-working space with a series of cupboards and compartments. My friend Slobodan has a space next to me, but he's never there. He's old and overworked, so I worry about him. And I wonder whether or not he's still angry at me.<br />
<br />
I post something on facebook about a travesty that has occurred in a third world country. I mean to be mordant and ironic with the quote I post, but two people, "friends" I barely know, respond with biting comments on my ignorance about the state of water rights in the world.<br />

Thor dreams of levers without reason or effect<br />
<br />
Dreaming about Jeremy Lin, basketball player.<br />
<br />
Dream about dancing and freestyling at a big party. I rhymed "try" and "cry" at one point and the MC suggested that perhaps I use some less straight forward words to reveal process. i was with a bunch of friedns for this and it was a lot of fun. Jon Matus was there for sure. Also, when I woke up, I was drooling on my pillow which doesn't happen that very often.<br />
<br />
Also now that I'm awake I'm remembering some sort of scavenger hunt/journey/expedition with my friends Thor and Ryan where we met in a specific place (on a college campus) -- a placid location, and when I got there I was concerned they couldn't be them, but they total came out as the ? drunk so to speak, as they were hidden and well... Ryan hid his skateboard. We were trying to be as anonymous as possible and so when a professor approached and made small talk about picking up chicks, i was rather dismissive, and found him kind of creepy. Finally, to shake him off, I falsely admitted being interested in the Dutch girls.<br />
<br />
I'm now also remembering in the same dream as the dance club with rap battle, there were two hot girls from high school there, one who I saw for the first time in years last week, and the other who I haven't seen in 8 years or so. I may have been rollerblading -- we all were I believe. At one point I gave one of them (jessica Suzanne) a friendly butt tap as I rolled by and my friend thought that was funny. This is interesting because she and I had somewhat of a verbally sexual relationship in high school... 9th grade.<br />
<br />
The vague recollection of talkign to a man at a family gathering of sort and he hands me an over-sized business card, and won't accept mine. He's in advertising (as am I) but he wouldn't mention what he did for the sake of confidentiality. I understood.<br />
<br />
Through a long dark hallway to a dimly lit, red lunch counter. A huge slate lever slid from the edge, rising and falling, noiselessly, without reason or effect. !N!http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365779439121892297noreply@blogger.com0
