Estimated as being created in the first century, C.E., "The Epitaph of Seikilos" is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) complete pieces of notated music ever discovered. Elaine DiFalco sang the song in The TANK during the open house in September 2015.  OPEN The TANK: http://kck.st/1VYAru8    www.tanksounds.org

Elaine diFalco - The Epitaph of Seikilos

Songs from the 1989 Cornerstone Theater Company production of Pier Gynt, performed in Eastport, Maine. Based on the play by Henrik Ibsen as translated by Rolf Fjelde.

On the first OPEN MIC night at The TANK, Norah Patch and Aliyah Jackson play bull roars, accompanying Joshua Hill's violin.  Banners by George Peters transform the space.

Ron Miles, trumpet master, plays his horn in the amazing acoustics of the TANK, in Rangely, Colorado,with Bruce Odland and Mark McCoin on percussion.

Recorded at The TANK Center for Sonic Arts, Rangely Colorado
Sept 7, 2019 by Jeremiah Moore

Reverberation has always inspired awe in human beings, and the architectural spaces of the Renaissance and Baroque periods of Europe--beautiful churches and palaces of stone and stained glass and vaulted ceilings--were profoundly resonant, echoing places.

Composers of the day played with this echo and created echoing effects in their music, and writers of song incorporated echo into their poetry and librettos.

Soprano Jolle Greenleaf and Lutenist Hank Heijink share Renaissance and early Baroque music especially composed in its day to highlight echoes in their most immediate form.

On N'entend Rien (TENET’s Jolle Greenleaf, Hank Heijink at The TANK)

Single-stringed river harps, played by the flowing water of the Rhein River, produced these serene melodies, which were recorded and then played back into the Tank’s deep resonance to make serene, harmonious tracks, full of peace, wellness, and the power of nature. 

For a year O+A, Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger, searched for sounds in the Rhine Valley in Switzerland, near a town called Rheinau, where they were making a healing installation. They recorded everything: rivers and rain, birds and snow, tiny streams and cornfields, crickets and goats. They recorded trees full of blackbirds at dusk, and spring birds at dawn. They strung harpsichord wires through the trees to record snowfall and built harps played by the leaves in the wind.

Their favorite activity was to build water harps, to hear the Rhine sing its song.  The river plays the hand-made harp like a bow plays the string of a violin. The river drags the string downstream, and the tension of the string pulls against it, creating a harmonic melody that modulates as the current’s invisible fluctuations dance up and down the string’s overtone series.

Bruce Odland then carried the river songs to Rangely and played them back in the Tank, lifting them into the steel cathedral space and filling it with the resonance and rhythms of nature’s ebb and flow.  

Here they are for you.  Think of them as a Gregorian chant, sung by the river.

In 1991 after an amazing rafting expedition down the Yampa river with Mho Salim, the survivors gathered at the Tank.  Sam directed us in chanting the words from KING of TIME, syllables from Vladamir Klebnikov's sound language of the future. Meanwhile sounds from Yampa windharps play inside the TANK.  Voices, Doug Young, Bobby, Bruce Odland, Sam Auinger.  www.tanksounds.org

nothing special

The TANK Center for Sonic Arts is a world class reverberant space in Rangely, Colorado. www.tanksounds.org

To experience The TANK is visceral; each person who stands inside finds herself at the center of a world made up of sound. It is transformational.

The TANK, a 60-foot-tall, 30-foot-across, rusted and abandoned steel water tank, was discovered in Rangely, Colorado by sound artist and sonic thinker Bruce Odland in 1976. An acoustical marvel, with a forty-seconds-long, shifting, swirling reverberation, The TANK became a favorite unofficial, off-the-grid recording venue for Colorado musicians for nearly four decades.   

In 2012, the TANK was facing an uncertain future. Friends of The TANK — an eclectic group of artists, sonic explorers, and practical minds, all bound together by the experience of The TANK — was formed to save the sonic treasure from demolition. With contributions from more than a thousand Kickstarter backers over two campaigns, and the remarkable and ever-growing support of the people, businesses, and governments of the town of Rangely and Rio Blanco County, The TANK was purchased, restored, and repurposed, and is now home to The TANK Center for Sonic Arts

Now in its second season, The TANK Center for Sonic Arts seeks to share The TANK through artistic development, sonic research, education, and community outreach; to preserve, protect, and share The TANK; and to offer a unique and transformative audio laboratory for musicians, sound artists, educators, sonic tourists, and the community in a magnificent acoustic resource.
