Music From The Kitchen - Soundtracks from performances
|
"Music From The Kitchen" is five
tracks composed for performances held in the mid 1990's at The Kitchen,
the world renowned avant-garde performance space in NewYork City.
The first four pieces, the "Basetime" series were composed for
"Hybrid #1,"an evening of experimental performance, music, and
visual art that was curated by Kathryn Greene.
The final piece, "Prisoners of Grace," was created for a dance
piece of the same name, choreographed by JoAnn Fregalette Jansen.
These would be the last compositions I would do before moving over to
a completely digital system. "Prisoners of Grace" involved no
sequencing at all; it was improvised one layer at a time onto a
1/4" four track tape deck. The "Basetime" pieces were sequenced
using an Atari Mega STE, a Kawai K1r and lots of analogue outboard effects.
