TAK Ensemble presents an evening highlighting the impossibly small sounds and glacially slow music of composer and visual artist Seth Cluett. The performance will feature the world premiere of irreversible histories of disturbance, a long-form composition employing handmade instruments and novel scoring techniques that emphasize communal interdependence, performer agency, and playful curiosity about sound. The result of an extended collaboration, this work takes an ecosystemic approach to audible form and language that considers time-cycles, symbiosis, causation, erosion, disturbance, crisis, decay, and growth as catalysts for musical interaction.
The concert will also present the premiere of a short video work the reformation of assemblages, part of Cluett’s no small matter series of works utilizing found flora. For this installment TAK Ensemble, choreographer Abigail Levine, and filmmaker Itziar Barrio were given separate text scores resulting in an experimental document of an outdoor performance collecting and exploring the sound of seed pods, pine cones, leaves, and downed branches.
