Midday Music: New music quartet Yarn/Wire presents a performance of Marianthi Papalexandri-Alexandri’s Quartet for Motors and Resonant Bodies, followed by a talk.
Quartet for Motors and Resonant Bodies combines acoustic instruments (resonant bodies) and motor driven devices that function both as sound sources themselves and as active preparations that determine speed, dynamics and other musical parameters. The result is a slow, purposeful "unfolding" of sound: an intense procedural sequence of extremely minimal slow-motion movements produces complex and concentrated sustained sounds and textures over time.
Commissioned by Yarn/Wire.
Premiered at Issue Project Room, New York.
Materials: motors, elastic cord, drum heads, piano, sand paper, wood, bead chain, foam board, log drums, rosin
