On World Listening Day, Thursday, July 18, from 7–9 p.m.,
Phonography Austin will present The Invisible Suburb , an outdoor
sonic art installation, in the Onion Creek Greenbelt at 7306 Onion
Creek Drive, Austin, Texas 78731. The Invisible Suburb will feature
recordings made in and around the homes of Austin artists, evoking the
traces of domestic life that once permeated the now mostly deserted
Onion Creek neighborhood, where evidence of former habitations is
steadily becoming overtaken by nature. Through speakers nestled among
tall grass and other plant life, participants will hear an audible
reference to the neighborhood's residential past while seeing and
feeling the verdure of its future. The installation includes
recordings made by Henna Chou, Anne Fichtner, Vanessa Gelvin, Travis
Putnam Hill, Neal B. Johnson, Alex Keller, Lacey Lewis, Christopher
McConnell, Daniy Oberle, Sean O’Neill, Travis Pope, Josh Ronsen,
Christy Tappe and Jackson Warren. World Listening Day is an annual
global event held on July 18 to celebrate the listening practices of
the world and the ecology of its acoustic environments, raise
awareness about the creative exploration of acoustic ecology, and
create educational initiatives that explore these concepts and
practices. Phonography Austin was founded to host Austin’s first
World Listening Day event in 2016. For more information, contact
