The performance is an improvisation within a pre-determined sine-wave structure using limited and notated tones from acoustic instruments. The piece is approximately 56 minutes in duration, was composed specifically for this performance and has no title. The piece has little to do with the installation in terms of content, however fundamental ideas are complimentary.

Opening Reception
First Thursday, April 5, 6-10pm


Interiors are part of a body of process work that has taken on great importance in Eubank's musical practice. The result lives comfortably between sound art and music, and contains 2 or more channels of closely related material.

This process attempts to achieve a particular response from the material and the listener by creating a rich sonic field that can allow extended periods of total physical and psychic immersion. Simple means are employed to do this: feedback, samples, and the juxtaposition of the slowly changing original source with these static simulations. However their aggregate effect is one of room filling complexity that can lead to the synthesis of the objective sound and the cognitive process. This periodic union between listener and objective sonic material is what this work is concerned with. The unique way each will hear, interact with, and stratify the overall texture into discrete elements leads to an individual symbiotic relationship to the sound. The listener is encouraged to participate in multiple realizations of this process by returning and spending long periods of time inside of each piece.

This installation is composed of three pieces, each of which will contain a 60-minute, 4 channel loop that will play continuously during the open hours of the gallery.
