Customers may be interested to know that <strong>SONIC</strong> <strong>FABRIC</strong> is likely to increase in value<br />
simply by being a very special part of Alyce Santoro’s body of work, available by the yard<br />
exclusively through <strong>Designtex</strong>.<br />
Every inch of <strong>SONIC</strong> <strong>FABRIC</strong> is recorded with an intricate collage of sounds prior to weaving.<br />
The yardage available through <strong>Designtex</strong> is recorded with “BETWEEN STATIONS”, a custom<br />
collage commissioned by <strong>Designtex</strong>, and based on life in New York City. For the project, Alyce<br />
combed through hundreds of samples she’d collected during her years living in post-9/11 New<br />
York. To her, every sound was precious, each one a tiny snippet of the human experience. The<br />
CD of the sound collages contained on the <strong>Designtex</strong> edition of <strong>SONIC</strong> <strong>FABRIC</strong> is<br />
available to customers.<br />
Alyce is available at all times to speak directly with customers. Please refer to her<br />
websites (alycesantoro.com and sonicfabric.com – which will soon be completely<br />
revamped) for up-to-the-minute information on current exhibitions and media. Email her<br />
at alyce@alycesantoro.com to sign up for a monthly newsletter. Alyce is also available to<br />
give presentations and lectures on the inspiration behind the material, and on the<br />
creative process in general.<br />
