In this workshop, Batya Sobel and Kathy Couch will engage people in the processes and ideas behind their current, ongoing project, bottles--an artistic response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This project is a practice of creating daily, chance compositions together by simultaneously making sound using glass bottles while physically and sonically separate. We will explore techniques of ‘deep listening’, accompanying each other across distance and separation, and making music/sound with glass bottles. The workshop will conclude with the co-creation of a sonic memorial, involving all participants in attendance. Please bring to the workshop at least one glass bottle.


KATHY COUCH is an artist, educator, advocate, and award-winning designer living in Northampton, MA. Working in mediums of light, space, collaboration, and improvisation, Couch creates works in traditional and non-traditional spaces both nationally and internationally. She uses language, light, and readymade objects to craft experiences of engagement that allow audiences to contemplate moments of being and activate their vital role as contributors to the work and the world. She teaches Lighting Design at Amherst College and is a founding board member of the Northampton Community Arts Trust that seeks innovative ways to preserve and steward space for imagination and creativity. Resist and imagine…

​As one of the few oboists around focused on experimental new music and sounds, BATYA SOBEL views her art as an offering of vulnerability. Sobel is an oboist, composer and improviser based in Western Massachusetts. ​
