“Ladies and gentlemen, will you please turn on your cellphones.”
Improvisers, composers, and field contributors worldwide present Twenty Six Minutes Equals One Day: a multimedia, interactive performance in eight movements. In early 2019, participants all over the world submitted 2-3 minute field recordings and photos for this project. Each participant was asked to record at a specific time. The end result is a 26-minute recording that starts with the 6:00am submissions and proceeds throughout the day at intervals of 3 hours. Additionally, a piano score was written by David Haney and two drummers, Bernard Purdie and Dave Storrs, were commissioned to create a percussive response – a drum sound track – to the field recordings.
This performance will be in three parts:
Short presentation of project
Listening to the field recordings & Syncing all phones in room with selected instruments (26 minutes)
Live musicians performing with field recordings (26 minutes)
The opening act will be a 20-minute set by Blake DeGraw and guests performing The Ersatz, an experimental work for guitars, which tells the story of a brood of cicadas emerging from their gestation period only to be attacked by a predatory flock of birds.
