During symphonic band rehearsal we heard a large droning coming from the basement. Very Very Loudly. Sounded like about 30 vaccuum cleaners turned on in unison. However, this guess was wrong, it was an artistic installation.
Very Long notes (we’re not talkin’ whole notes here… we’re talking more like 10 minutes of the same note) with pictures of Asian field workers on a projection screen. I interpreted this is as the monotony of a human work life. So deep. So emotional. Reminds me of when I did a presentation on “contemporary” music in my Music Theory class in high school. I never did, however, think I would see one of these “happenings” in actual life. Well, now I have, even if it was only for 2 minutes.
