My cousin Gideon and I found out yesterday that our proposal, "Dock and Load," was accepted for inclusion in the upcoming Music in Architecture — Architecture in Music Symposium at UT-Austin! The conference brings together architects and musicians for collaborative installations involving sound and concert pieces inspired by architecture. It should be a fascinating and unique event. Our project will transform the Perry Castaneda loading dock into a temporary concert space delivered by truck featuring music for 4 bass trombones and electronic sound!
The above are images from the presentation board designed by Gideon for our proposal (click to en-biggen).
Would be great to show the board...
ReplyDeleteIt sounded like you said "music for 4 bass trombones" but that can't be right
ReplyDeleteYes, my friend. Four big ones!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool Simon. I like your use of the truck stereo system as well as four trombones. Are you going to make a video of the performance? I know it wouldn't be anything like hearing the piece in the intended space, but it would be really nice. Good luck with the composition/preparation.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Drew! Yeah, a video would be great. Anyone in Austin with a camera?
