Presented by Eyebeam Art & Technology Center in collaboration with Turbulence.org and ISSUE Project Room
From June 7th-23rd The composer-percussionist Eli Keszler transforms Eyebeamʼs Project Space with L-Carrier, a large-scale,mechanical stringed instrument, immersing audiences in rich harmonies and sparse, multi-directional rhythms. A remote website displaying the pieceʼs evolving visual data score supplements this audio environment, and June 7th, 7PM-8PM the piece will serve as accompaniment for a live ensemble performance, featuring Eli Keszler, Ashley Paul, Anthony Coleman, Alex Waterman, C Spencer Yeh, Catherine Lamb, Geoff Mullen, and Reuben Son.
For the opening night of L-Carrier, an ensemble will perform a detailed score written by Eli Keszler to accompany the installation. The composition has been written so that fluid, dynamic acoustic sounds push and pull against the installationʼs sonic control. This event also inaugurates the release of Eli Keszlerʼs double CD Catching Net, a collection of installation and ensemble recordings, released by the Berlin-based PAN – ACT label. L-Carrier is presented as part of Eyebeamʼs sound series Rec.Play., a curatorial initiative founded by Eyebeam Creative Director Roddy Schrock.
Eli Keszler is a composer, artist and multi-instrumentalist based in New York City. He has toured extensively throughout Europe and the US, performing solo and in collaboration with artists such as Phill Niblock, Aki Onda, Tony Conrad, Loren Connors, Jandek, C Spencer Yeh, Ran Blake, and Ashley Paul.
