Live Stage: Quartet Without Pyramid Scheme [
NYC]
Quartet Without Pyramid Scheme — Jordan Topiel Paul, Reed Evan Rosenberg, Eric Laska, Richard F. Kamerman :: September 5-26, 2009; 2:00 - 8:00 pm :: Diapason Gallery, 882 Third Avenue, 10th Floor (between 32 & 33 Sts.), Industry City, Brooklyn, NY.
Quartet without Pyramid Scheme is a collaborative sound installation inhabiting the gallery and lounge spaces at Diapason. Its sound is the sum of a rotating collection of sound samples which loop continuously in unpredictable variations. Through its duration, the four artists successively alter this sound by recording and integrating new samples to be looped, some of which replace old ones. The sound content heard at any point in the piece will be the product of this collaboration. The sources and contents of these samples will roughly adhere to the themes of found sound, noise, and field recording. Working as something between improvisers and curators, the artists will recompose the sample banks for the gallery and lounge rooms in the following pre-determined order:
Gallery 9/5: Paul
Lounge 9/5: Paul
Gallery 9/12: Rosenberg
Lounge 9/12: Paul / Rosenberg
Gallery 9/19: Laska
Lounge 9/19: Paul / Rosenberg / Laska
Gallery 9/26: Kamerman
Lounge 9/26: Paul / Rosenberg / Laska / Kamerman
By the end of the month, what is heard at Diapason will reflect a collective layering of the artists’ individual perspectives and sonic experiences.
