Program

Known for her raw storytelling approach melding performance art, music, dance and film, composer and artist Pan Daijing's multi-sensorial approach to music comes alive on the 360-degree spatial sound system in the Reethaus as part of Soundwalk Collective's "Transmissions" series. Light food and drinks will be served over the course of the evening, and the listening session will be followed by a conversation with Pan Daijing.

Presented by Soundwalk Collective, the Reethaus hosts a rare staging of an early composition by La Monte Young, one of the first American minimalist composers, a drone music pioneer and a central figure in Fluxus and postwar avant-garde music. The 24-hour sound installation takes place during the entire duration of Young's 88th birthday and will include the full-length rendition of "The Well-Tuned Piano in the Magenta Lights: 87 V 10 6:43:00 PM — 87 V 11 1:07:45 AM NYC," a solo improvised work that he performed live in public over 65 times between 1974 and 1987 in the Marian Zazeela light environment.

As part of Soundwalk Collective's "Transmissions" series, Norwegian sound artist Jana Winderen performs a 16-channel sound composition using field recordings of fish, crustacea and mammals, part of her longtime project revealing underwater audio topographies and our interaction with them. Light food and drinks will be served over the course of the evening, and a panel discussion will follow the performance. 

As part of Soundwalk Collective's "Transmissions" series, Lyra Pramuk performs a site-specific arrangement of her "futuristic folk music," fusing classical vocalism, pop sensibilities, performance practices and contemporary club culture that integrates the intimacies of the club, the emotional multitude of trans experiences and the forbidding possibilities of social and physical technologies. Light food and drinks will be served over the course of the evening and the listening session will be followed by a panel discussion with Lyra Pramuk.
