Sonic Passage

San Francisco sound pioneer and artist Bill Fontana recorded bird calls, crickets, croaking bullfrogs, buzzing insects, rushing water and manmade sounds all along the San Antonio River for this “call of the wild” audio installation. The unique public art work sparks mental images of life along the river, from the serene to the thrilling.

One of Fontana’s only permanent public works, it enlivens the Jones Avenue Bridge and barge landing for the nearby San Antonio Museum of Art.
