Q: What if I don't have an iPod?
A: A limited number of Sonic Scenery audio delivery devices will be available for rent. However, rentals are extremely limited so please consider borrowing or sharing an iPod with a friend. Or, if you're like me and have been waiting to purchase one, here is a good reason to go ahead!
Q: What is the admission price?
A: Admission is the cost of the iTunes download to be purchased and loaded on to your iPod before arriving at the Museum. Or, if you do not have an iPod, you can rent a personal audio delivery device for $3, but please remember — limited quantities are available.
Q: What are "silent sets"?
A: This is a performance of electronic music that can only be heard with headphones rather than being amplified with speakers. It makes for a personal kind of listening experience that resonates with the nature of the Sonic Scenery exhibit.
Q: How do I hear the "silent sets"?
A: Simply unplug your headphones from your iPod and plug into an available mini-jack located at a listening station near the performer. There will be a limited number of plugs so please be conscious of others waiting to listen.
Q: Who will be performing "silent sets"?
A: Matmos, Languis, Daedelus & Tommy D, and Tom Recchion.
Q: Where does the Sonic Scenery exhibit take place?
A: The Sonic Scenery exhibit includes galleries on Level 1 of the Museum. All of Level 1 will be open for this event.
Q: Where does the discussion take place?
A: The discussion will take place in the second floor North American Mammals hall at 8pm.
Q: How do I ensure a seat in the discussion?
A: Come early! Seating is limited and awarded on a first come, first served basis.
Q: Where do I park?
A: Public parking is available on the West side of Menlo Avenue across from the Museum. See Directions & Parking for more details. Please enter the Museum from the South entrance closest to the parking lot.
Q: Why should I attend this event?
A: Lots of reasons! Here are a few:
• To see the collections at the Museum from a different perspective — through music!
• To be the first to check out a new kind of audio exhibit.
• To be part of a unique group individual experience that is at once personal and public.
• You are a fan of one or all of the Sonic Scenery artists or "silent set" performers.
