Program Notes

silOM [March 2006] site specific sound installation silOM is a sound installation that focuses the ear toward the sounds of ISSUE Project Room and its environs. Using field recordings made in and around the space as source material, sounds are located in time and space within Stephan Moore's 16-channel hemispheric speaker system. silOM was my first attempt at a non-performative installation environment and was premiered (in "draft" form) on opening night of the composer/improviser group Ne(x)tworks' Spring '06 residency at IPR entitled SILOMUSIC. For the premiere, my good friend Cornelius Dufallo created a companion work titled X. For this program, we'll hear the 7X7 Trombone Band layering in and out with excerpts from my recent collaborative composition stuplimity no.2

silOM silOM is a sound work that focuses the ear toward the ambient environs of ISSUE Project Room’s former Carroll Street silo space on the Gowanus Canal. It primarily uses unprocessed field recordings made in and around the space as source material. These dislocated sounds are brought together in a quasi-narrative, yet non-linear piece that roughly depicts arriving, preparing, and presenting a concert in IPR’s old space. silOM was my first attempt at a non-performative installation environment. An early version was premiered on opening night of the creative music ensemble Ne(x)tworks' Spring '06 residency at IPR entitled SILOMUSIC. For the premiere, my good friend Cornelius Dufallo created a companion ensemble work titled X that was played simultaneously with silOM to begin the program.
