As part of the UC Santa Barbara Ethnomusicology Forum, UC Santa Barbara PhD candidate Eugenia Siegel Conte and UC Santa Barbara alumnus Max Jack (Ethnomusicology, PhD 2019) will present a lecture titled "The Art of Making a Scene: Vocal Disruption, Affective Regimes, and Public Space" on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 from 3:30-5 pm PDT via Zoom. Conte and Jack will discuss how they discovered unexpected links between their scholarly interests and have been collaborating to show how space/place, body, voice, and “affective regimes” (Mankekar and Gupta 2016) can lead to a recognition and reorganization of public space through the embodied poetics of voice. They will also talk about the importance of mentorship, friendship, creativity, and collaboration in scholarship.

The Santa Cruz Acoustic Range Facility (SCARF) was designed, built, installed, operated, and maintained by General Motors Defense Research Lab, Sea Operations from 1966 - 1982. The U.S. Navy took ownership of the range in 1982 at which time it was operated and maintained by Goleta-based MariPro, Inc. until it was decommissioned in 1990. The onshore facility was located on the south side of Santa Cruz Island on land leased from the Santa Cruz Island Company. SCARF supported hundreds of U.S. Navy development and test programs, many of them classified.

On Thursday, May 20 at 7pm, three men from Santa Barbara--Dave Schiefen, Richard Hegeman and Lloyd Sorensen—who were all involved with the SCARF program from day one until its decommissioning, will present a narrated slide show covering the history, development installation, and operation of the SCARF facility.
