Half-Steps in the Fern Room
This summer, the Experimental Sound Studio is hosting another installment of its Florasonic series in the Fern Room at the Lincoln Park Conservatory.
During these hot (and now cloudy) summer months, anyone with a curious pair of ears can step into the Fern Room and hear the custom-styled composition of Max Alexander. Max is a musician, performer, and composer from Canada who currently resides in Chicago. His composition designed for the Fern Room is titled Half-Steps are Okay, an affirmation of the small steps along the journey to our larger goals.
Reflecting this in-between state, the composition in the Fern Room sounds a bit like a rehearsal that's yet to begin: snippets of conversations flicker in over short riffs on a guitar. As you walk through the room, you keep expecting to find a circle of people, a source of the sound, behind the thick green plants.
Experience it yourself now through August 31, from 9am to 5pm. The Lincoln Park Conservatory is located at 2391 N. Stockton Drive.
