These developmental resources risk being wasted by modern society.”&nbsp;-Richard Sennett, Together I facilitate workshops where we compose original sound-somethings together.&nbsp; It could be a piece of music, a sound art installation, songs, sonic experiments, improvisations...whatever best frames the sounds we make and how we want to share them. As facilitators, our responsibility is to ‘hold the space’ in a way that keeps the forces of editing, critique, quick answers, and [performance anxiety] at bay. This makes room for the unknown, for practicing being together, experimenting with dialogics, and finding delightful sounds. This work is responsive and specific to the people, the place and the time. Something will always happen. Some essential elements need to be in place for this work to be truly transformational: trusting creative process, recognizing and accepting difference, cooperation, and diving into the joy of making sound. I/we do this work with people of all ages, ability, and backgrounds.Samples of previous work: Music for Community Heights of Spring Sonic Guild - Salt/Ice <img width="2560" height="1304" width_o="2560" height_o="1304" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8fbbe3ecd5c8fb8f96f79052bbd850a0cefd88e862466830a40dfe4a348a04cd/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-3.33.30-PM.png" data-mid="162436716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8fbbe3ecd5c8fb8f96f79052bbd850a0cefd88e862466830a40dfe4a348a04cd/Screen-Shot-2022-12-20-at-3.33.30-PM.png" /> <img width="1445" height="1084" width_o="1445" height_o="1084" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db07783a32a02dd06540beb4c982620cf9efa8c8ee251c14daa6242195b85f7c/IMG_6223.JPG" data-mid="162435581" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db07783a32a02dd06540beb4c982620cf9efa8c8ee251c14daa6242195b85f7c/IMG_6223.JPG" /> <img width="4048" height="3036" width_o="4048" height_o="3036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/752e9d37ce4b6cfee981e96aafa2c46563d66df2275e2c56fa5e331d77cb057a/IMG_20190107_124626.jpg" data-mid="162435994" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/752e9d37ce4b6cfee981e96aafa2c46563d66df2275e2c56fa5e331d77cb057a/IMG_20190107_124626.jpg" /> <img width="2448" height="3264" width_o="2448" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99c114de2451c852fe04c70c82ce3ffc7c42a0a9c850b650f44f4451ad33ece8/IMG_5264.jpg" data-mid="158889164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/99c114de2451c852fe04c70c82ce3ffc7c42a0a9c850b650f44f4451ad33ece8/IMG_5264.jpg" /> <img width="4048" height="3036" width_o="4048" height_o="3036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f21c96c16eccdd04949bfc130f0592efcca713d4f0ffe6901cead8431f511cbe/IMG_20190110_155951.jpg" data-mid="162131979" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f21c96c16eccdd04949bfc130f0592efcca713d4f0ffe6901cead8431f511cbe/IMG_20190110_155951.jpg" /> <img width="2448" height="2448" width_o="2448" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5126cb76f19d78a94a94825ff82f53bcc29c6e140fbdef50c97b6a86d87c532/IMG_2059.jpg" data-mid="162131942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b5126cb76f19d78a94a94825ff82f53bcc29c6e140fbdef50c97b6a86d87c532/IMG_2059.jpg" /> https://rachelmangold.com/About Wed, 21 Sep 2022 22:14:56 +0000 Rachel Mangold, musician https://rachelmangold.com/About Artist Statement My creative practice is intertwined with how I want to live. At times, I choose tending to relationships, my body, my spirituality, ahead of my creative work. Returning to sound from these practices of care, I make work that emerges from intuition and my humanity. I approach material with curiosity and playfulness, experimenting with how to amplify it, frame it, and share it. I re-found my creative agency while a participant in a collective composition workshop. Now as a facilitator of these projects, one of my favorite creative postures is to be alongside the other makers, constructively contemplating the material we’ve generated together. The nature of these projects is open, specific, and responsive to whoever is in the room. We cultivate trust in collaboration - the process of combining our creative agencies - as a force, and it leads us through the project. When crafting a space of making for myself I tune into my raw experience, pairing it with rigor and feminine boldness that I am now discovering. When crafting a space of collaboration for myself and others, the discipline is to hold boundaries and pressures at bay to allow the process to unfold organically and to make space for belonging. Belonging, in all our human-ness.
