Michael Gordon – Timber
"Reclaimed Timber" reframes Michael Gordon's monumental percussion sextet Timber as an exploration of housing and homelessness in Chicago. The instruments (six slats of wood) are sourced directly from abandoned and vacant houses found in Chicago, creating a sound world that is directly linked to the city's housing challenges and history. A light installation comprising more than 5000 LEDs and more than 200 paper lantern "houses" reactively responds to the sounds of the wood, reflecting the undulating structure of the music as waves of light filling the performance space.
The livestream will take place at 7:30pm Central / 5:30pm Pacific.
Streaming information is forthcoming. Check here for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/1156472718209363/
