East Forest

Music has the power not only to entertain but to heal. As East Forest, composer Trevor Oswalt eases audiences into a blissed-out state of contemplation. Combining live field recordings from around the globe with electro-acoustic instrumentation and spoken-word poetry, the artist creates an environment for self-reflection. Oswalt aims to guide listeners through a sonic journey during which they might find deeper understanding of themselves and the world they inhabit. For maximum comfort, the presentation will be seated. Zone out with East Forest on Thursday, September 19, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington.
