Kitundu's performance
The sound of turntables
An informal gathering and performance by Walter Kitundu and friends will take place on Sunday, June 11 at 3pm at the the luggage store gallery, in San Francisco.
This will be a special musical event, featuring a performance by Walter Kitundu and his friends. The instruments that will be played are now on display at the luggage store gallery.
For over six years, Kitundu has focused his imagination on discovering the potential of the record player as a medium for sound and artistic expression. This process has resulted in hand built turntables powered by the wind and rain, fire and earthquakes, birds, light, and the force of the ocean's waves and tides. He has created a new "family" of instruments called Phonoharps.. Kitundu see the physical properties of a record as being a natural link to the exploration and interpretation of the world around us.
Kitundu's collaborators have included recording artists Douglas Ewart and Meshell N'degeocello, and dancer/choreographer Joanna Haigood/Zaccho Dance. Most recently, he was commissioned by The Kronos Quartet to build instruments and compose.. He performed last month with the Kronos Quartet at Carnegie Hall.
