M&A was excited to present Melting Soundscapes, a performance by sound artist Martancho (Martín Velez), inside the Day/Dream installation. Melting Soundscapes was a live, generative sound piece exploring ice as a sonic material, creating intricate textures as it melted, cracked and transformed.

Doors opened at 7:30 PM and the performance began at 8:00 PM.

Melting Soundscapes was free to attend. We accepted material drop-offs for HEAT AID during the program, and a list of recommended items is here.
