Sonic Pavilion Behind-the-Scenes: 1000 Footer September 9, 2026 1000-Footer by M. Azevedo celebrates the tireless service of the thirteen mighty thousand-foot Lake freighters. Too large by far to navigate the locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway, these thirteen titans will spend their entire service lives traversing the Great Lakes, hauling ore from the Minnesota iron fields to southern ports in Lake Michigan and Erie. The piece uses a mix of musical sounds and field recordings of the freighters that translate the paths of the ships into motion around the 24 channel Pritzker Pavilion sound system.
