If a residency lasts for two days, the outcome results from
the activities that occur within this time. Combining a primitive
appropriation of sound making and looping with modern amplification
technology, artists Dave Carbone and Bernhard Schreiner concentrate
on emphasizing time itself. By encompassing the entire space
we follow the journey of a drop of water. Starting in an old
water tank, a drop drips through a hole in the floor and into
the cellar where it hits a bass drum, amplified by contact mics
the sound travels via mixer back up and out through a sub woofer
speaker installed in the cavity of the ceiling in the main space
which acts as a bass bin. In an elaborate series of constructed
events, what results is no more than an amplified pulsing beat
no faster than a regular heart beat. The deep bass penetrates
throughout the space as its almost perfect metronome hypnotizes
into a rhythmic trance.
On the second evening, using their time machine as a lead, Carbone
and Schreiner present a concert titled A brief history of
music. Using a variety of electric, acoustic and handmade
instruments they perform an almost ritualistic journey from
primitive sound making to music. |
