Ha-Yang Kim’s TERMINALS is a full-length meditative audiovisual work inspired by the peripatetic quality of contemporary life; arrival and departure points, the constant states of flux both in exterior locations and interior realms, sojourns through dense tech-centric cosmopolitan urbania to vast natural landscapes, and the extreme degrees of human connection-communion-discord-solitude. Through contrasting seamless sections of sonic and abstracted visual environments, TERMINALS is a contemplation upon the transitory fleeting nature of time, motion, and stillness – illuminating the rich moments experienced in between the larger overlapping arc points, thus, the simultaneous vast and intimate spaces which comprise the journey itself.
Composer and cellist Ha-Yang Kim composed and performs multiple instruments (cello, piano, synth, percussion, radio) and is joined by an ensemble of three-time Bessie award-winning composer/multi-instrumentalist and frequent collaborator Hahn Rowe (NYC) who will perform guitar, violin, viola, and electronics, and violist Heather Bentley. Video and performance artist Ursula Scherrer (NYC/Berlin) uses organic sources to create evocative abstract moving environments utilizing multiple projectors which overlap and play with shifting light and shadows. Music, video, electronics, and live performance come together to create an immersive full-length evening experience.
