Many Pairs Sounding | Dan Senn
Kinetic sound sculpture installation

Opening Reception
First Thursday, January 4, 6-10pm

An installation of sixteen micro-tuned tubes with paper mallet tops driven by sub-audio tones. Developed in Prague for an installation titled "The Odradek Complex" this installation uses 8 pairs of Tube Tops to create a choir of intertwined overtones which continuously make and remake the sonic landscape. Because of their Odradek-like features (Kafka's mysterious, impish-like character), these sculptural and kinetic instruments are easily anthropomorphized into a chattering ensemble of vocalists, an effect enhanced by utterances and tones emanating from the base of the tubes.

Dan Senn is a composer of experimental classical music, electronic and acoustic, a sculptor of new instruments for exhibition and performance, an experimental video artist for installation and proscenium play, a ceramist, and a documentary film artist. He performs and exhibits world-wide and creates ephermeral public art projects which bring experimental work to alternative audiences. His work is greatly influenced by "elegant awkwardness" of the raku ceramic process and, while highly expressive, devoid of intended metaphor.
