SONGS FOR PEOPLE SLIPPING INTO THE SEA

AUTOTELIC XYLOPHONES
"Let Me Tell You About A Dream I Had"
Philadelphia Art Alliance
Sept 30 2011 - Jan 1 2012

Scrap wood recycled from "DINNER RAFT" (Robyn Hasty), "BOWER OF SOUNDS" (Anna Ialeggio), "TIPPY TEMPLE" (Lopi Laroe), convent on Spring Garden Street, and various construction sites. Piano soundboard from Antoinetta's basement. Organ parts (Leslie components, spring reverb tank) from 9th Street.

Script from Mississippi River flooding & Missouri tornados 2011.

Handmade electronic components amplify & distort interactive xylophones.

It's good to experience an overwhelming sound.

ROUNDING THE CORNER

Small taste of next week. We are rounding the bend towards the next phase... involves maneuvering a cherry-picker through an obstacle course, and 150 sheets of painted matter. Spending last fond moments with detail work intended for eternal lamination 35 feet off the ground, waiting until the day that teenagers have hoverboards to be discovered.
