about

Neighborhood Listening Garden is a 2 speaker sound-system and native garden installed at the Jeffery Manor Public Library’s Reading Garden in South Deering Community Area. The South Deering community area is a former steel industrial area located on the south east side of Chicago and is home to majority Black and Latinx residents. It was the home of Wisconsin Steel Works, originally the Joseph H. Brown Iron and Steel Company, South Works (US Steel), Iroquois Steel and Republic Steel. There are several neighborhoods that make up this community, South Chicago, Jeffery Manor, South Deering and Slag Valley. The composition was made from recordings from analog synths recorded at EMS Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm and Norman's home studio and field recordings from Norman's yard in Jeffery Manor, Bessemer Park, Calumet Park, Van Vlissingen Prairie (Marian Byrnes Park) and Big Marsh Park.

Neighborhood Listening Garden provides an alternate mapping of the southeast side's black and brown communities, an opportunity to restore native plants to the area and exhibition and programs for resiliency and self care in a community still suffering from disinvestment.

Big Room
by Ulla Straus

supported by 9 fans who also own “Neighborhood Listening Garden”

I am a huge fan of all the music Ulla makes, and Big Room is no exception. Comforting warmth radiates from every song on this album. A highly recommended listen, especially as the weather outside gets colder and bleaker. Mary

Kevin Drumm does have a computer and he knows how to use it ! A great and lengthy addition to my KD collection and exactly the kind of abstract and provocative genius we've come to expect from the man. unruh2525
