A Plateau of Piano Realities 2025
The project is a apart of Music Becoming-Minor in Performance Spaces. Through the Meyer Sound Constellation system at National Sawdust, Piano Realities creates new territories of sonic possibility. From Aaron's Cosmologies to Heather's All Things That Disappear, each composition forms its plateau of intensity. The film captures these molecular movements as bodies, technologies, and spaces enter into novel assemblages.
Planning and Performing a Logic of Sensation with New Music, New Painting, and New Theater 2025
The project is a apart of Music Becoming-Minor in Performance Spaces. The film shows how music, painting, and theater form productive tensions within academic space. Dr. Jonathan Eakle's paintings encounter Cézanne's Garden, my Baroque fragments connect with New Music, and Dr. Evan Crump's theatrical elements draw from Artaud's techniques—our performance creates transverse lines between artistic practices and academics.
A Plateau of Trilogy 2025
The project is a apart of Music Becoming-Minor in Performance Spaces. In Trilogy for Two Pianos, Tape, and Live Electronics, Pianists Ning Yu and Cory Smythe enter into machinic assemblages with various bodies through three movements. The film captures these desiring-machines that generate continuous flows of sonic intensity to form a bloc of sensations.
