Installation/Performance by Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger Daytime installation hours: 3-7pm -- Perfomances beginning at: 8pm Sonic alchemists Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger will install a laboratory for transforming the New York City soundscape into real-time ambient music. Can a city be heard as a harmonic symphony? The installation functions as an instrument, an "industrial digeridu" played by the city's roar. Random city sounds cause an overtone series inside the tuning tubes placed outside the Kitchen to resonate sympathetically. The chaos of cars, planes, people, motors, construction is reduced to the order of the Pythagorean harmonic series. Hidden melodies and harmonies are revealed. Real-time video from the tubes provides visual clues. The installation becomes a resonating sonic and visual "cloud chamber"of city music extracted from the complexity of accidental urban sound design. |
