GAIN VAPOR RISE

  • March 17 – April 9, 2016
  • GAIN VAPOR RISE is a sound piece especially composed for the gallery. Several speakers placed on stands and surfaces envelope the space. The composition plays with the volume and reverb of the space, exciting the frequencies of the room with recordings from the studio.

Stories and scenes are guided by music, props, websites, photographs, scripted sound recordings, and concert appearances in an ongoing exploration of collaboration, music and performance.
