“GESTURES and CLUSTERS: Two Collaborative Soundscapes” is an immersive installation of two self-running sound art works: “Gestures/Murmurations,” a collaborative work by John Driscoll and Cecilia Lopez, and “Cluster Fields,” a collaboration between John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein. The artists are members of Composers Inside Electronics, a group dedicated to the composition and performance of electronic and electro-acoustic music using both software and circuitry designed and constructed by individual composers.
Both works stem from the artists’ extensive multidisciplinary backgrounds in electronic music composition and performance, as well as the development of unique instruments, computer software, robotics, sculpture and installation. Original sound scores are created using custom sculptural loudspeakers (including 55-gallon metal drums, plastic pipes, fishing poles, large mica wings and robotic rotating speakers), hundreds of sound files and software for focused sound localization and distribution.
Each sound installation is specifically tuned to take advantage of the architectural resonances and acoustics of the large open exhibition spaces of the Zuccaire Gallery, while allowing individuals to experience their own soundscapes as they navigate the spaces.
The exhibition opening at the Zuccaire Gallery in the Staller Center will be on Saturday, November 2, from 6 pm to 9 pm. “GESTURES and CLUSTERS” will be on view through February 19, 2025, during regular gallery hours: Monday through Friday, from 12 pm to 4 pm and evenings of Staller Center performances.
