ROCKLAND — It’s not often a night of entertainment around the Midcoast is limited to only one of your five senses, but that’s what four audio artists are doing on Saturday evening, April 23, at The Steel House in Rockland.

“We’re calling the event ‘Audio Hash’ because it’s a mix of experimental audio work that we’re all pulling together,” said Meghan Vigeant, one of the artists involved. Vigeant is a personal historian, writer and audio producer who helps people save their stories as books and audio, mostly for their families. She is the founder of Stories To Tell.

Each of the other artists has background in sound as well. Sean Reed is a Camden-based composer with a background in both instrumental and electroacoustic avant-garde music as well as live-interactive multimedia works and installations. Ariel Hall is a multidisciplinary artist working mainly in performance and installation, and Nathan Davis is a composer, artist and computer programmer.

The audience can expect an eclectic warm-up as each artist demonstrates a PechaKucha-like presentation of their own unique soundscapes.

“We’ll talk about each one and how they came to be,” said Vigeant. “Then after the intermission, we’ll do a collaborative piece called ‘Hash and her Synonym.’ We all come from such different audio backgrounds. My work is very narrative and the others experiment more with technology, so we came up with the idea of playing with sound. Basically, I wrote a story and recorded myself reading it. Then, each artist took the original story and added his or her layers to that recording, building upon the addition of each previous artist’s work.”

Vigeant will have her 1942 stand up RCA radio for people to explore as well. Prepare to laugh and wonder at the weirdness; mix with the sounds, ideas and people. The presentation will be followed with a reception of nibbles and sound installation. The event starts at 7 p.m. There’s a $5 suggested donation. For more information visit: The Steel House
