RECORDS

A multimedia artwork that is designed and defined by a live musical performance.  

Each performance of RECORDS features music from the classical and concert music canon that generate sculptures and paintings. The objective of each final artwork is to represent the colors and texture of the music, the story conveyed in the poetry, and the performance in which the artwork was completed. 

The 3 staged process of RECORDS starts with the music and message. Songs from the classical and concert music canon are translated into a preliminary or “base” sculpture or painting. During the live performance, elements are added to each artwork in service of the storytelling and visual composition. The final artwork is created as a result of the performance and serves as a visual “recording” of each song. 

Each performance of RECORDS is unique and designed for the space where it is shared, often art galleries, museums, and unconventional performance spaces. Working with a team of collaborators including vocalists, instrumentalists, lighting designers, videographers, and sound engineers, RECORDS uses each performance to address various topics of the human condition, inviting audiences to witness both a live musical performance and the rarely seen completion of each visual artwork. Seeking to intimately engage audiences in classical and concert music, various artistic disciplines, audio components, and opportunities to contribute to the performance collectively are offered to the audience.
