In Gathering Sounds, readers are introduced to the Rainbow gathering community through the audio archive project, Sounds from the Rainbow. As part of this experience, readers are invited to wander through 50 unique sound files or Sound-Trails, following a choose-your-own-listening-adventure model, which utilizes a Rainbow Trail theme to imaginatively walk within various gathering soundscapes. A lavishly illustrated, multimedia, full-color you-are-there experience is also a folkloric exploration of Rainbow gatherings, a free non-commercial outdoor event held in remote locations building a loose-knit community of kindred spirits all around the world for over fifty years.
This ethnographic listener guidebook from author and radio and podcast producer Tenali Hrenak features over a hundred interactive aural experiences-folk music, chants, poetry & spoken word, nature ambience, and what have you-drawn from a quarter century of field recording at Rainbow gatherings, as well as copious illustrations and essays from nine contributors.
