I had a great time at the recent Forest in the City event at Eyedrum in Atlanta, Georgia. The hybrid installation/concert featured the Bent Frequency Duo and was organized by Adam Mirza. The event was part of the SEAMUS 2024 distributed national conference. The event featured custom-built wooden panels outfitted with transducers so that they function as speakers.
My work A Record of the Air from the Middle of a Cloud was adapted for percussionist Stuart Gerber and saxophonist Jan Berry Baker of the Bent Frequency Duo. They played beautifully and the sounds were truly immersive with the speakers arranged throughout the space.
