SUBHARMONIC OMNIVIBRATIONAL MICROTONAL SOUND SCULPTURE FEATURING GLENN WEYANT AND THE KESTREL 920
FEBRUARY 12 THE EPIC CAFE
Tucson based sound sculptor Glenn Weyant will perform an evening of live subharmonic omnivibrational microtonal sound sculpture coaxed, amplified and processed from steel, wood, iron and trans-oceanic radio signals on Saturday February 12th from 8 to 11 p.m. at The Epic Café.
Weyant will perform on the Kestrel 920, a sound transmogrifer of his own design, calibrated to amplify and exploit the nano and overt vibrations created through percussive blows, bowing, electromagnetic fields and assorted manipulation.
At the heart of Kestrel 920 is a segment of found lumber that has been hollowed to create a resonation chamber for the mounting of a contact microphone. The lumber has been strategically mounted with found objects mostly including: a tuned dust pan, a deconstructed satellite dish mount, assorted screws, nails, bungee cords, wires and springs.
The vibrations and subsequent tones created by the manipulation of these objects passes into/and is translated by the grain of the lumber where it is captured by the contact microphone, boosted, processed and eventually broadcast.
Other techniques will include the use of feed back, radio signal, flute and ambient noise layered and morphed live in real time to form a series of unique sound sculptures.
This show is free.
A limited 20 disc CD-R pressing of sound collage #18 for trains and rails featuring original cover art will be available for the purchase during the performance.
