This is an annotated narrative guide to my 2013 vimeo channel:
Hugh Livingston performs cello in unusual built spaces, such as the Old School in Slavonice, Czech Republic and the Powerhouse in Telluride, Colorado. Hugh improvises with other musicians in natural settings, such as the creeks of Oakland, or the culverts. Hugh designs sound environments for dynamic acoustic environments, such as underground crypts. Hugh designs spectacles to be heard and seen in unusual outdoor environments, such as rooftop gardens. Hugh designs sound that is integrated into chairs and benches, and also many other types of objects such as birdcages, tomato cages, wooden figures, and floating bowls. Hugh makes sound installations exploring outdoor spaces along the Russian River and is writing an opera that unites land and water. Hugh designs conceptual projects involving colors extracted from the landscape, particularly the colors of water. Hugh designs text animations that trace out the patterns of creeks and rivers using words generated around the watershed, in Czech, in Sonoma, in Oakland and sometimes performs cello in the midst of the projections. Hugh's first sound installation was in a building designed by Frank Gehry, with Michael Zbyzsynski. Hugh creates video installations that capture the colors and motion and sounds of a landscape, such as Kansas and Oakland. Hugh's sound gardens include a Japanese garden, Mountain View Cemetery and a St. Francis garden.
