Soundscape Field Station
The Atlantic Center for the Arts Soundscape Field Station, a partnership between Atlantic Center for the Arts and Canaveral National Seashore, announces Lee Tesche & Staci Janik as its 2026 artists-in-residence. This residency program invites musicians, composers, and ecologists to find innovative approaches that help preserve a healthy and balanced soundscape for current and future generations. Atlantic Center for the Arts has over 45 years of experience in producing artist-in-residency programs that attract distinguished artists from all over the world.
From February 8, Lee and Staci will work at the Atlantic Center for the Arts campus and the Doris Leeper House at Canaveral National Seashore.
Lee Tesche and Staci Janik are artists working collaboratively across design, sound, and spatial storytelling. Staci is a designer and creative director whose practice spans visual identity, environmental systems, and field-based publication design, developed through long-term collaborations with cultural organizations, filmmakers, and independent institutions. Lee is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and experimental sound artist whose work moves between music, film, and design, drawing on stringed instruments, sound design, and field recording to explore political memory and the emotional dimensions of place. Together, they create site-responsive projects that bring visual and sonic languages into dialogue—work shaped by research, atmosphere, and a careful attention to context.
Aural Field Survey (AFS) is a site-responsive sound and design project exploring the ecological textures and sonic rhythms of Canaveral National Seashore and Volusia County. Over five weeks, daily ambient compositions are created in the field using site-specific sounds, environmental recordings, and participant reflections. The work culminates in a multi-sensory exhibition.
AFS invites listeners to experience sound as both documentation and reflection—part field recording, part environmental portrait, part experimental composition.
