About the event
Human Work Automated for Select Frequencies: MT Coast + Ben Boye +Ben Billington + Natalie Chami + Kyle Landstra @ The Chicago Perch 8PM-11PM | Facebook Event
MT Coast along with, Ben Boye, Ben Billington, Natalie Chami, and Kyle Landstra, will explore the limitations of processed improvisation through electronic and drone-centric music. Frequencies and gestures provided by MT Coast shall act as a loose score while the performers use both digital and analogue instruments to explore their personal interpretations of the gestures within the confines of the frequencies. The performers' output will be presented outright while also being actively fed back into MT Coast's processing center where the inputs will be modulated on the fly - creating a dense textural field of input, output and feedback. This performance will aim to explore the human response to machine generated signals of exact frequencies which are known to correspond to ancient spiritual practices, such as the yogic tradition of Chakra, and the set modal phenomena known as Cymatics.…
