A celebration of sound and visual art was held at the Ranch in August 2011 to commemorate the first year of the Chalk Hill artist-in-residence program. Hugh's contribution, River Triptych, is seen here: Ranchfest 2011 video. Birdcages are filled with imaginary birds, improvising on the classics, riffing through stolen melodies; cuckoos clock and clack and can't quite keep time; underwater bubbles come to the surface, making rhythmic patterns in a field of alien wildflowers; windows frame distant vistas, radiating with yesterday's sound, a granular frog, a repeating river, a Creek chorus of Euphrats, glass sounds floating by. Afterwards you will want to curl up with a good brook.
