Fear of the Object is a site-specific event utilizing live video and sound performance to put into dialogue the architectural resonance/dissonance found within physical space, sound and light. Featuring: Austin percussionist Chris Cogburn and Norwegian Video Artist Kjell Bjørgeengen.
Percussionist Chris Cogburn sets into motion resonant objects (cymbals, bells, snare drum) in relation to subtle textures and fleeting harmonics produced on guest artists’ brass instruments (tuba, trombone, trumpet). A range of sine tones set to perfect ratios for each object’s unstable harmonics augments tensions between the acoustic and the electronic. Audio generated video projected from Oslo video artist Kjell Bjørgeengen is fed back into sound to blur distinctions between hearing and seeing.
Physicality turned aesthetic without the beautiful.
