We note with sadness and gratitude the passing of composer Alvin Lucier
Farewell, Alvin Lucier
Alvin got a large fan with the TANK, therefore of him. He arrived on the scene to Rangely to capture inside CONTAINER two times in recent years, the very first time simply throwing a bit of lumber around in the area, to unique sonic effect. For Solstice in 2019, the West shore percussionist William Winant sang a Lucier piece for solo triangle inside CONTAINER, a€?Silver Streetcar for Orchestra.a€? Bruce Odland recorded the results in 360 movie and engineered the recording. Having a cue from Alvin’s compositional system, Bruce re-TANKed the tape-recorded work, delivering they back through the framework a moment times, to create out of the nuance. Like all of Alvin’s innovative designs, the bit proves wealthier than a person might ever before picture, actually finding a bass note, among numerous others, when you look at the resonance regarding the TANK.
