Curated by the essential Indexical, I’m performing live this Saturday February 3, 2018 8 pm
Radius Gallery, 1050 River Street #127, Santa Cruz, California
I’m sharing the stage with Eoin Callery, who will be doing an installed performance with strings (as in the strings themselves) and an electric guitar using automated filters to create an evolving scape from sonic textures and drones.
My live solo set is themed around the idea of beacons:
An audible radio signal picked out of an ocean of static serves as a beacon, a lighthouse, a weather station, a warning: here be rocks, here be shallows, here be treacherous tides. A signal anyone might hear, but also imagined by and especially made for the listener who finds it. A performance considering the radio beacon, using radiophonic instruments and transmitters, cottage-built electronics, and recordings/photo montage from recent fieldwork in Iceland and Chile.
I’m particularly interested in ubiquitous but perhaps minor audible beacons, such as dog barks and terrestrial morse code flyover signals. And the idea of an opaque environment, that is to say, the visual and audible static from which such beacons emerge.
