John Morton, Noted Composer, Instrument Builder, and Sound Artist, Brings His Sonic Ingenuity to the Morris Museum

John Morton has spent his life immersed in sound. As a composer, his passion is to make musical connections between unintentional events. Simple things like bird song masked by a passing truck, a creak in a floor, or "the very specific envelope of dissolve" made by the slamming of a hot dog cart lid, are among his inspirations. Morton's sound installations have graced public parks, village greens, pedestrian bridges, historic and industrial sites, libraries, and now the Morris Museum with Sound Garden, starting November 16th and continuing through February 24th in the Main Gallery. Sound Garden consists of two interactive, sound-immersive installations: Fever Songs (2018) by Morton and The Voyage Out (2009/2018), in collaboration with Jacqueline Shatz. John Morton's work showcases the sonic beauty in the world around our ears. If we're often advised to "stop and smell the roses," Morton asks us to stop and listen to them and to all the other auditory splendors that we take for granted or are too busy to hear. He crafts these moments into "sonic events" and weaves them into fluid, expansive, and user-friendly experiences.
