    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Hold the Portal Open program]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In his project &quot;Hold the Portal Open&quot; - part of PPL&#039;s Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Micah Salkind created a series of audio recordings and published them on Soundcloud. This is a recording of the culiminating event held on Zoom in which participants met together to discuss the works with Salkind. In his artist statement, Salkind noted, &quot;Hold The Portal Open is an experiment in narrative mixing, a technique wherein disco and house DJs use the lyrical content of songs to tell a story that complements affective shifts supported by music. Lyrics augment the ways that key, tempo, energy level, and other musical factors shift the ways we think, feel, and understand a sonic experience over time. Each day for six days I will create a new improvised mix of approximately 45-minutes with a title and a short prompt. Audiences are invited to stream or download each mix from SoundCloud and listen to it on a walk while meditating on the sounds, lyrics, title, and prompt. They can keep their own private notes about the experiences or not, but they are invited to share what they notice publicly as a comment on each mix or in a culminating conversation on April 27th.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[How People Talk/A Composition of Conversations, part one workshop video]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;n her project &quot;&quot;How People Talk&quot;&quot; - part of PPL&#039;s Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Ericksen presented two workshops. This recording is of the first workshop which took place on Zoom, the second was not recorded by request of the artist. Ericksen&#039;s description of the project notes, &quot;&quot;During my PPL Creative Fellowship this year, working in the medium of sound, I&#039;ve been researching something called the Linguistics Atlas Project (LAP), which was a survey conducted from 1930 to 1980 to collect information about the way English is spoken across the United States. Part of the data collected for this project includes hundreds of hours of interviews where people were prompted to say &quot;&quot;everyday words,” and I&#039;ve been listening to parts of these interviews over and over again on my computer. For part one of  How People Talk/A Composition of Conversations I’ll share recordings from these “anonymous” interviews for everyone to hear, and talk a bit about my experience of repeated listening to them, including some of the questions about the interviews and the experience of listening to them that have come up for me through the process of repeated listenings. What does it mean to record a voice? And what does it mean to be able to rewind and fast forward through that recording, and pause and play and pause and play, listening over and over and over again? What can we learn about how we use words, how we do and don&#039;t put them together in conversation, and why we make the choices we do?&quot;&quot;<br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In her project &quot;Ode to Home&quot; - part of PPL&#039;s Adaptive Practices series in Spring 2020 - Davis presented two April workshops. This recording is of the first workshop which took place on Zoom, the second was not recorded by request of the artist. Davis&#039; artististic statement noted, &quot;Sometimes one’s relationship to home can be complicated. An Ode to Home explores my relationship to my hometown and how my family&#039;s history is reflected in its natural and constructed landscapes. This work is a collection of 42 old and new photographs where narrative emerges through imagery, juxtaposition, and sequencing. If I develop a creative block, one of my strategies for moving forward is to revisit another project. An Ode to Home emerged out of a similar space, while reconsidering the in-between spaces that connect thoughts, projects, and relationships. In this two-part workshop, we will discuss the background and creative process of An Ode to Home and create a space to construct and share your own ode. What is your relationship to home and what can be gleaned from your existing collection of images to to communicate that story? How can you use the space between one image and the next as a tool to create meaning?&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>
