Event text:
"Sound artists Sharon Cheslow (Coterie Exchange) and Steven Kim (Silver Daggers) collaborate to form mirrored percussive actions on the bass and guitar through repetition, microtonal distortion, and delay. By processing one instrument through the actions of the other - by way of a contact mic placed against the pick plate of Steven's prepared bass and through the effect pedals of Sharon's table-top Silvertone guitar - the articulation of musical notation is disrupted. The bass, affixed with strategic placements of piano string along the fret board, is played in a sequence of repetitive motions which is then mirrored in Sharon's vocal work. This duality of instrumentation creates a minimalist landscape of sound through call and response."
