Something I have been meaning to do is to travel to and explore upper Manhattan. When I found out that The Cloisters is currently hosting its first ever contemporary art exhibit on Sōsh, a great new app that highlights activities all over New York City, I knew I had to check it out.
The exhibit is called "Forty Part Motet" and is a sound installation by Janet Cardiff. If you are on Sōsh and search for The Cloisters, the activity will show up for you along with transit directions, a map, and the museum's (suggested) admission price.
It is an eleven minute musical piece that plays 40 voices on 40 different speakers in a 12th century apse called the Fuentidueña Chapel. It's absolutely mesmerizing and overwhelming to experience the unity of voices in such a great acoustic space surrounded by 12th century artifacts.
I also spent a little time exploring Fort Tryon Park which is currently at autumn peak. What a perfect afternoon.
