Soft Structures are informal spaces for communal listening – speculative concert halls for intimate performances. The spaces are populated by music curated by Kallmyer, LA-based performers who’s sonic work overlaps in the space to create a dynamic listening environment. Each of the three spaces created for Disney Hall operate differently – one with an audience facing one another on communal benches, another which blurs the inside and outside of the hall, and a third that immerses the listener with an intimate audience of four.
The structures aims to highlight the intimacy of music – the closeness and temporal relationship of a sound, a place, and its memory. Sounds overlapped between spaces – so audiences would get close. Squeeze in. Listen.
