Gregg Dietzman‘s 2023 Jack Straw Artist Support Program project resulted in the soundscape album Sound and Light Signals. The sounds here were recorded at various locations along the Inside Passage of the Pacific Northwest, including “the Haida Náay I´waans (Whale House) in Kasaan, the cupola of Five Finger Lighthouse in Frederick Strait, a boathouse on Kupreanof Island, on a boat at anchor in Eucott Bay, and in chapels in Port Townsend and Friday Harbor,” and edited and mixed together in the studios at Jack Straw Cultural Center.

Jack Straw will host a listening event on Friday, October 11th, featuring Sound and Light Signals, and soundscape works by Jack Straw resident artists So’le Celestial and Perri Lynch Howard.
