avant garde music

Sunday Synth Jam: More of an electroacoustic avant garde jam – this video captures The Crank Ensemble performing String Theory:

For the Garden of Memory annual Solstice performance at Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, June 21, 2009.

Excerpt features Bronwyn Ximm as “stimulator”, with Hugh Behm-Steinberg, Mark Brest van Kempen, Vicki Olds and Bodil Fox as “tuners”, with Mary Behm-Steinberg as “knitter”.

Sound is generated by placing piezo contact microphones on nylon string, and embedding them in knitting needles. Knitting concept by Bodil.
