SHOW US YOUR TONGUE

Tongues could be simple or complex, archaic or modern, alive and dead, one’s own and somebody else’s. One’s own, native tongue, is, as a rule, but one. We acquire it practically at birth and lose it together with life.

ECHOLOCATION by Harvestworks (Carol Parkinson и HansTammen, New York)
Gryaznaja gallery on Marata str., Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Cyberfest festival.

Parkinson and Tammen will present their work ECHOLOCATION, for live sound processing instruments and Endangered Guitar. For them, every performance with electronic instruments is site-specific. Their instruments are designed to react with the resonant frequencies of the room, bringing the sonic qualities of the surrounding conditions to the listener’s attention. They start with some microscopic sound details that investigate the acoustics of the room. Small but controlled variations are introduced persistently, some take on a new musical life on their own, others die out at a very early stage of their existence. The random drift moves the piece slowly into new directions following the characteristics of the room.

* Supported by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation through US Artists International in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Trust for Mutual Understanding.
